Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes Now Live on the Google Cloud Platform
Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes are now listed on the Google Cloud Platform, making it dramatically easier—and dramatically faster—for teams to self-host the core infrastructure behind their networks.
Appchains just became cloud-native.
Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes are now listed on the Google Cloud Platform, making it dramatically easier—and dramatically faster—for teams to self-host the core infrastructure behind their networks. Instead of assembling custom systems or depending on hosted RaaS providers with rigid constraints, teams can now run appchain components directly inside their existing cloud environments, using the same tools, workflows, and controls they rely on every day.
This marks a meaningful shift in how appchains get built and operated.
Self-Hosted Appchains, Running in Your Cloud Environment
For years, teams building their own chains faced a difficult trade-off. If you wanted control and clear security boundaries, you had to self-host—then spend days or weeks stitching together infrastructure, networking, monitoring, and ops. If you wanted simplicity, you turned to a RaaS provider—but accepted higher costs, limited configuration, and a dependency on someone else’s infrastructure choices.
Today, that trade-off disappears.
Syndicate Appchain RPC Nodes derive and serve verified onchain state for any Syndicate Appchain, powering applications, dashboards, explorers, internal services, and anything else that requires real-time, trust-minimized access to chain data.
And now they run entirely inside your Google Cloud project—your VPC, IAM, KMS, logging, autoscaling, and security perimeter. No external hosting. No proprietary runtime. No opaque operational layer. You operate appchain infrastructure the same way you already operate your other distributed systems.
Why This Matters: Control Without the Operational Burden
Teams have always wanted the control that self-hosting provides: clear boundaries, compliance alignment, predictable performance, and the ability to evolve their network on their own terms. The obstacle was always the overhead—custom infrastructure, manual orchestration, and ongoing maintenance that slowed teams down.
Running Syndicate Appchain Nodes in Google Cloud changes that dynamic. Teams gain:
- The control of self-hosting, because the node runs entirely within their environmentThe simplicity of cloud-native tooling, with monitoring, scaling, and security handled through standard Google Cloud services
- The flexibility to grow, because nodes integrate directly with existing data infrastructure, internal services, and workflow automation already in place
Self-hosting becomes the simplest, most flexible, and most reliable way to operate a network.
Run Your Own Chain Low Cost
Teams building on Google Cloud typically receive platform credits through their standard onboarding, startup programs, or enterprise agreements. Those same credits can now be applied directly to operating appchain infrastructure.
Because Syndicate Appchain Nodes run entirely inside your Google Cloud project, existing credits may cover some compute costs required to run your RPC node. Check with your Google Cloud Account Team to confirm what’s eligible for your setup.
What’s Coming Next to Google Cloud
Today’s listing is the beginning. More of the Syndicate stack is coming to Google Cloud.
Sequencer Nodes will allow teams to execute transactions, sequence blocks, and advance state entirely within their own cloud perimeter.
TEE Validators built on Google Cloud Confidential Space will enable secure, attested compute for validation, reducing verification overhead and unlocking new possibilities for scalable, privacy-preserving networks.
As these components go live, teams will be able to run their appchain end-to-end—RPC, sequencing, validation—directly inside Google Cloud, using infrastructure they configure, operate, and evolve themselves.
Get Started Today
This launch brings appchains into the same model that made the modern internet possible: horizontal scaling. When teams can self-host network components directly inside cloud environments they control, scaling isn’t limited by a single vendor or platform—it grows with the infrastructure you already operate.
As more teams deploy RPC nodes, and soon sequencers and validators, we move closer to a world where thousands of appchains can run side-by-side, each owned and operated by the communities they serve.
