Google Cloud plans to December 15 shut down Blockchain Node Engine and Blockchain RPC services
PANews October 6 reported, citing Cointelegraph, that Google Cloud will December 15, 2026 shut down Blockchain Node Engine and Blockchain RPC services and reminded customers to complete migration arrangements as soon as possible. It is understood that Google Cloud has listed Quicknode, a blockchain infrastructure provider, as an officially recommended RPC infrastructure migration partner, and customers can redeploy nodes and Google Cloud Marketplace endpoints through RPC or the Quicknode platform. They must also complete application configuration adjustments and workload validation before the services are officially discontinued; at that time, Google will, on December 15 automatically remove existing Blockchain RPC endpoints.

AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
RPC services allow applications to send requests to blockchain networks, while the node engine is used to run or connect to blockchain nodes. The arrangement described in the report means that affected customers need to redeploy nodes and endpoints and adjust and validate application configurations.
Why it matters to readers
Existing Blockchain RPC endpoints are reportedly to be automatically removed on the shutdown date, so customers using the relevant services need to complete migration, configuration adjustments, and workload validation beforehand.
If your application uses Google Cloud's relevant blockchain nodes or RPC endpoints, you should check your configuration and monitor the migration arrangements and deadlines.
Risks and unknowns
The news was reported by PANews, citing Cointelegraph; the original article did not provide a link to an official Google Cloud announcement.
The original article did not specify the affected blockchain networks, regions, customer scope, or migration support details.
The title uses “proposed closure,” while the body uses “will be shut down,” resulting in inconsistent wording.
