Syndicate Launches Appchain RPC Nodes on Google Cloud, Enabling Cost-Effective Self-Hosting

Syndicate, a prominent Web3 infrastructure provider, announced today the live availability of its Appchain RPC Nodes on the Google Cloud Platform, enabling developers to self-host application-specific blockchains in minutes with minimal cost. This development aims to democratize access to blockchain infrastructure, streamlining the deployment and management of appchains for a wider range of projects.

"Appchains meet the cloud. Today, Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes are live on the Google Cloud Platform—making it possible to self-host a chain in minutes and at virtually zero cost," Syndicate stated in a recent social media post. This initiative allows developers to deploy and manage Syndicate Appchain read nodes directly on GCP, accessing on-chain data from their own infrastructure.

Syndicate, founded in 2020, has raised over $28 million in funding from investors including a16z, Carta, and IDEO CoLab, focusing on building a decentralized platform for on-chain and off-chain investment. The company's core mission is to provide tools for developers to create and launch programmable, atomically composable "appchains," supporting the "appchain thesis" of specialized, interconnected blockchains. Its offerings aim to simplify Web3 development by providing flexible, modular, and comprehensive infrastructure solutions.

While the initial offering on Google Cloud Platform supports Syndicate Read Nodes for state derivation and querying blockchain data, the company is actively working to make Write Node configurations available in the GCP Marketplace. This move aligns with Google Cloud's broader strategy to support Web3 developers, building on its existing Blockchain RPC service launched in September 2024, which offers enterprise-grade reliability and security for accessing various blockchains. The integration of Syndicate's technology with Google Cloud’s robust infrastructure marks a significant step in making advanced blockchain solutions more accessible and scalable for enterprises and startups alike.
