According to CryptoPotato, decentralized blockchain infrastructure provider Ankr has partnered with Tencent Cloud to introduce a Web3-native product called Tencent Cloud Blockchain RPC. The solution aims to provide organizations and enterprises with efficient and robust access to blockchain infrastructure. The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service serves as a gateway for users to access essential blockchain networks, offering a user-friendly method for retrieving data and conducting transactions on various blockchains, including Ethereum Mainnet, BNB Smart Chain, and Polygon PoS.

The RPC service, dedicated to delivering blockchain node infrastructure tailored for enterprise needs, is now available through Tencent Cloud's online marketplace. The partnership combines Ankr's blockchain infrastructure with Tencent Cloud's capabilities, resulting in a service with high concurrency performance, supporting a regular request volume of up to 1,800 requests per second per chain. Tencent Cloud Blockchain RPC will offer two versions: a public version with free blockchain interaction and predefined features and rate limits, and a premium version with Pay-as-you-Go blockchain interaction, higher request throughput, and improved rate limits. An exclusive enterprise version is also in development, along with plans to integrate new supported blockchains and an advanced API service into both the public and premium versions of the service.

Ankr and Tencent Cloud's partnership began in February this year for the Web3 infrastructure solution, with the two companies signing an agreement to jointly develop a full suite of blockchain API services provided by a high-performing, globally distributed, and decentralized network of RPC nodes. Ankr also partnered with tech giant Microsoft earlier this year to offer enterprise node hosting services.
