Today, we at Bloq, Inc. announced the general availability of [BloqCloud](https://www.bloq.cloud/), as a platform for open network developers and teams who want to get on with building – without having to worry about the tedious effort required in simply maintaining the necessary infrastructure to build.

The first supported networks will be:

• Bitcoin, of course
• Bitcoin Cash
• Ethereum
• Ethereum Classic

The very first services will be:

• Managed nodes on-demand (BloqCloud Nodes)
• API services, indexed blockchain data, and blockchain event monitoring (BloqCloud Connect; BTC and BCH to start, with more coming).

Most importantly, this platform is part of the crypto ecosystem:  Payment via crypto (BTC, BCH, ETH) or fiat (Visa/Mastercard).   Lightning Network and Metronome payments and more coming soon.

Upcoming services will include capabilities for accessing distributed computing and storage, all within the BloqCloud console.

The BloqCloud Connect service has a free tier (500 API requests per month, limited event/block/address monitoring). For $24/yr or $4/mo (“Starter”), you 10x the API requests and 4x the monitoring. BloqCloud accepts credit card and Bitcoin, with MET and Lightning soon.

BloqCloud will continue add services and compatible chains going forward.


The Future

BloqCloud is a necessary step, the plumbing of the plumbing, to get us to the blockchain-enabled future we envision. As this product grows along with its user base, we will continuously add services, compatible blockchains, and solutions.
