Big tech canโt beat the specialistsโcase closed ๐จ
Google Cloud officially announced that it will shut down its blockchain node and RPC services on December 15, transferring all existing customers as a package to QuickNode. The transition period is just over two months.
Donโt read this as โGoogle is exiting crypto.โ The truth is simple: RPC is tough, low-margin work, and the giants canโt be bothered to stick it out. QuickNode gets an entire portfolio of enterprise customers handed to it on a silver platter. Too bad it hasnโt launched a tokenโthereโs nowhere to get in early. The real takeaway is this: specialized infrastructure is still the domain of specialist providers, and the likes of Alchemy and Ankr have actually had their approach validated in reverse.
