Flare has officially launched its Blockchain Machine Images on the Google Cloud Marketplace, allowing for the quick deployment of full nodes on more than 20 networks, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Avalanche. The goal of this development is to simplify node setup for Web3 developers, reducing the time and costs typically associated with full-node infrastructure.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images are now available on the Google Cloud Marketplace, providing developers with a seamless and user-friendly way to deploy nodes without requiring extensive technical expertise. The Flare Network announced this strategic integration with the community through its official social media platform, X.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images offer a solution for deploying blockchain nodes. Users can simply click the deploy button in the Google Cloud Marketplace, and within minutes, the desired blockchain node will be up and synced in their environment. The latest image ID can be used in autoscaling groups for enhanced stability, offering a flexible development setup.
One of the key benefits of Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images is the cost savings it provides for businesses. Traditional blockchain node deployment often requires significant resources and can cost thousands of dollars per month. However, Flare’s solution enables dedicated node deployment at a much lower cost, around $300 per month, reducing enterprise expenses and eliminating the need for maintenance setups or reliance on external providers.
Flare’s Blockchain Machine Images cater to various Web3 use cases, allowing companies to integrate blockchain data into their systems at no cost. Businesses gain unrestricted RPC call capabilities and data indexing, giving developers greater control and flexibility. This aligns with Flare’s ongoing efforts to expand cloud-based services and streamline blockchain integration within the Flare ecosystem.
This integration also supports Flare’s internal operations, particularly for its Attestation Providers, which are responsible for securely transmitting data from other blockchains. The Blockchain Machine Images simplify this process and help these providers maintain a stable data feed within the Flare network. Overall, Flare is continuously improving its blockchain infrastructure to make it easier for developers and businesses to launch projects within the ecosystem.
