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.

  • Fed's Musalem: Further Rate Hikes May Be Needed to Curb Inflation

    On September 22, Fed's Musalem stated on Monday that due to strong demand and commodity price shocks extending beyond the oil sector, the Federal Reserve may need to further raise interest rates to reduce inflation. He emphasized that the Fed should act sooner rather than wait. Musalem remarked, "Persistent demand and recurring supply pressures are still exacerbating inflation risks. I believe that without further policy measures to curb inflation, in 18 months, inflation is likely to be significantly above our 2% target rather than reaching it. I think policies must impose meaningful constraints on inflation so that the Fed can achieve its inflation target in about a year and a half, allowing time for the tightening policies to impact the economy." He also stated, "Compared to later, larger, and potentially more abrupt policy measures, earlier and gradual policy tightening is more appropriate and causes less shock to the economy." Musalem pointed out that inflation "is not a risk; it already exists," and even excluding the effects of oil and other supply-related factors, the underlying inflation rate could still be several percentage points above the Fed's target and is "heading in the wrong direction."
