Flare, the blockchain for data network, announced new tools designed to enable rapid and low-cost deployment of blockchain nodes.
Blockchain Machine Images, a Node-as-a-Service solution, is Flare’s (FLR) latest offering that gives Web3 developers access to faster node deployments through Google Cloud’s marketplace. Blockchain machine images make it easy to power decentralized applications, blockchain platforms, and data streams.
The solution supports Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Avalanche (AVAX), among other top blockchain networks.
According to details shared by the Flare team on October 25th, blockchain developers can leverage the solution to quickly spin up and sync dedicated nodes. Users also have the option to select an image ID for autoscaling, and infrastructure setup and deployment is completed within minutes.
Simplifying node deployment and synchronization benefits the broader ecosystem, Flair noted. It costs businesses $300 per month to run a dedicated Flare node, which is much cheaper than other Node-as-a-Service platforms, some of which can cost up to $2,000 per month. is.
Flare’s new Node service provides unlimited remote procedure calls, workloads, and data indexing. Meanwhile, Josh Edwards, vice president of engineering at Flare, said Blockchain Machine Images is a valuable tool for Flare’s authentication providers.
In the Flare ecosystem, authentication providers are independent entities tasked with securely retrieving data from external networks such as Bitcoin and Ripple. These entities are important to Flare’s ecosystem as they validate and send data to the blockchain.
