Ava Labs and Tencent Cloud Enable Rapid Node Deployment on the Avalanche Public Blockchain Across APAC

Validated Project

Ava Labs announced it has entered into a strategic partnership with Tencent Cloud to support projects and developers across the Avalanche ecosystem. In addition to providing developers with rapid node deployment, both parties will also explore Avalanche Subnets for enterprises to help accelerate adoption of Web3 technologies across traditional businesses.

Under this arrangement, a full Avalanche node is now live on Tencent Cloud in sync with the Avalanche public blockchain, enabling Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure to support efficient and rapid node deployment for developers and validators across APAC. These features and functions aim to support faster throughput and development for projects in the region building on Tencent Cloud while helping achieve resource decentralization.

Avalanche has developed a suite of Web3 products, including a blockchain wallet, explorer, and bridge. Builders will be able to leverage Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure, together with Avalanche’s Web3 products to build Web3 applications on the Avalanche blockchain.

Avalanche’s novel Subnet technology enables enterprises to develop fully-customizable blockchain infrastructure purpose-built for their use case. This includes choosing who participates in network security, who can access the Subnet, which virtual machine it uses, fee economics, and more.

Game studios should be particularly excited about these developments. They require dedicated, high-performance infrastructure to support large scale user bases, which this combination will deliver. With Avalanche, developers can build confidently knowing users will experience near-instant transaction finality to ensure the low-latency experience they expect from modern games.

According to Ed Chang, Head of Gaming at Ava Labs, “The capabilities that Tencent and Avalanche will deliver are incredibly exciting for the future of games built on blockchain. Tencent is a global powerhouse in both the gaming and infrastructure space, and this collaboration opens the door to building truly incredible Web 3 gaming experiences.”

“Avalanche is the premier platform for both individuals and institutions to build Web3 applications and infrastructure,” said Wilson Wu, Avalanche’s Asia Growth lead. Wu continued, “With Tencent’s support behind the Avalanche ecosystem and its builders, we will push the boundaries of what is possible.”

Ava Labs and Tencent also intend to co-host in-person and online conferences, education programs, developer meetups, and more to support Web3 builders and projects building on Avalanche, starting with a series of events at Tencent Cloud Day in Singapore.

  • Sources: Saudi Arabia Plans to Expand Oil Pipeline to Red Sea, Increasing Capacity by 2 Million Barrels Daily to Bypass Strait of Hormuz

    On July 7, five informed sources revealed that Saudi Arabia is considering expanding the crude oil pipeline capacity to its western coast on the Red Sea, allowing Saudi Arabia and its neighbors to transport more oil without passing through the Strait of Hormuz. This east-west pipeline, built in the early 1980s, has gained strategic importance since the outbreak of the Iran war in February and the disruption of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The pipeline can deliver up to 7 million barrels of crude oil per day to the Red Sea port. The CEO of Saudi Aramco stated in May that approximately 2 million barrels are supplied to west coast refineries, while about 5 million barrels are for export. Sources indicate that Saudi Arabia is in preliminary discussions with some neighboring countries regarding the pipeline expansion, aiming to add about 2 million barrels of pipeline capacity per day. It remains unclear whether Aramco's planned expansion involves upgrading existing infrastructure or constructing new pipelines. One source mentioned that the expansion plan also includes a smaller refined oil pipeline. Two sources indicated that the expansion scale could range from 1 million to 2 million barrels per day, with refined oil also being considered. Another source stated that the project would take several years and cost billions of dollars, requiring adjustments to Saudi crude pricing mechanisms.
