Cointime Official

Tencent Cloud, a cloud service provider in China, announced a partnership with Ankr, a Web3 infrastructure provider, to collaborate on developing a full suite of blockchain API services. The suite will provide a globally distributed and decentralized network of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) nodes, which will enable Web3 project builders to power their projects more efficiently. The blockchain API services will be deployed on top of Tencent Cloud's infrastructure and provide reliable connections to popular blockchains.

Tencent Cloud has also announced strategic collaborations with three other Web3 blockchain partners, including Avalanche, Scroll, and Sui. Avalanche is a smart contracts platform that allows Web3 developers to launch custom, highly scalable solutions, and a fully synchronized Avalanche full node has been set up on Tencent Cloud's infrastructure. Scroll, on the other hand, aims to build an open-sourced fully EVM-compatible zk-Rollup with a strong proving network, and Tencent Cloud will provide infrastructure support to help establish the initial scaling solution foundation. Lastly, Sui is a Layer-1 blockchain optimized for high-performing games, and Tencent Cloud will work with Sui to provide game developers with effective cloud-based game development tools and dedicated support to optimize the on-chain gaming experience.

Along with the partnership, Tencent revealed the launch of its latest product, Tencent Cloud Metaverse-in-a-Box.  Tencent Cloud Metaverse-in-a-Box is a versatile tool that can be used in various industries, including gaming, media, and entertainment, as well as conventional industries and Web3 natives. With the ability to address different scenarios' requirements, it allows businesses to develop metaverse applications rapidly, offering a more secure acceleration, more flexibility within the communities, and a truly immersive experience.

"Built on our leading technologies and enormous industry experience, we are proud to introduce Metaverse-in-a-Box with the goal to accelerate public sectors and enterprise clients’ journey to the Metaverse." Tommy Li, Vice President of Tencent Cloud, stated in the announcement.

  • Trump's Securities Trading Records Exposed, Invests in Nvidia and Apple

    On May 15, the U.S. Office of Government Ethics released two new financial disclosure documents on Thursday, revealing that Trump disclosed large-scale financial transactions worth at least $220 million earlier this year, involving securities from several major U.S. companies. The newly disclosed documents cover the first three months of 2026, with transaction values ranging broadly from $220 million to approximately $750 million. Significant purchases valued between $1 million and $5 million include S&P 500 index funds, Nvidia, and Apple. Large sales valued between $5 million and $25 million include Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta. The documents do not consistently specify the exact types of securities involved, such as whether they are stocks or corporate bonds, nor do they indicate which accounts the transactions occurred in or who authorized the trades. Such disclosure documents are mandatory but only partially reflect officials' financial activities, as they only list transactions exceeding $1,000 and present them in broad value ranges without disclosing specific transaction prices, profit situations, or whether assets were directly purchased or held through managed accounts. Trump's assets are held in a trust controlled by his children, and some transactions in the new documents indicate the involvement of brokers as agents. (NBC)
