What is Blockchain RPC?
Blockchain RPC is a managed Google Cloud service that provides JSON-RPC endpoints for accessing blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana. Developers read blockchain data, send transactions, and call smart contracts without having to operate their own nodes.
Compared with Blockchain Node Engine, Blockchain RPC offers lighter-weight access through shared, highly available API endpoints instead of dedicated nodes. This suits applications that mainly issue standard queries and do not need exclusive node resources.
Core Features
- Managed RPC endpoints: JSON-RPC access without running your own nodes
- High availability: Redundant infrastructure with automatic failover
- Low latency: Endpoints on Google’s global network
- Standards-compatible: Compatible with the Ethereum JSON-RPC standard
Typical Use Cases
DApp Backends
Web3 applications connect to the endpoints directly through common libraries to read chain state or submit signed transactions.
Wallet Integration
Balance queries, transaction submission, and event monitoring run through the managed endpoints without dedicated node infrastructure.
Benefits
- No node operations or synchronization required
- Compatible with existing Web3 libraries and tooling
- Integration with Google Cloud IAM and monitoring
- Usage-based billing without baseline infrastructure
Integration with innFactory
As a certified Google Cloud partner, innFactory helps you connect Blockchain RPC to Web3 applications: choosing the right access model, securing it with IAM, and building monitoring for on-chain integrations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blockchain RPC?
Blockchain RPC is a managed Google Cloud service that provides JSON-RPC endpoints for blockchain networks such as Ethereum, Polygon, and Solana. Developers read blockchain data and send transactions without operating their own nodes.
What is the difference from Blockchain Node Engine?
Blockchain RPC offers lightweight, shared API endpoints for standard queries. Blockchain Node Engine instead provides dedicated full nodes assigned exclusively to a project.
Is Blockchain RPC compatible with existing Web3 libraries?
Yes. The endpoints follow the Ethereum JSON-RPC standard and work with common libraries such as web3.js, ethers.js, or web3.py.
How is Blockchain RPC billed?
Billing is usage-based, driven by requests against the endpoints. Google Cloud's official pricing page is authoritative for binding figures.
