Web3: The Future of Internet
In a statement, Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President, Tencent Cloud International, said, “At Tencent Cloud, we see a future with Web3, a new iteration of the internet that ushers in the concept of ‘Immersive Convergence’ where the physical and digital economies meet and integrate. With more businesses now keen to explore and adapt to an efficient, transparent digital future, we are ready to leverage our many years of technical experience in the fields of games, audio, and video to provide strong technical support for Web3, and work with industry partners to create a more immersive experience and nurture a better Web3 ecosystem.”
Tencent Cloud’s plan to promote the sustainable growth and development of the Web3 ecosystem was unveiled at the Tencent Cloud Web3 Build Day held in Singapore. Tencent Cloud will offer the Web3 builders cloud solution credits, marketing workshops, and publicity opportunities leveraging Tencent and Tencent Cloud’s ecosystem and resources through the Tencent Cloud Web3 Ecosystem Alliance. Selected Web3 builders will also be given priority on product integration and co-creation with Tencent and its partners.
New Blockchain API Services with Ankr
Tencent Cloud also signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Ankr, a Web3 infrastructure provider, to jointly develop a full suite of blockchain API services, which provides a high-performing globally distributed and decentralized network of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) nodes, enabling builders to power their Web3 projects. This new suite of blockchain API services will be deployed on top of Tencent Cloud’s infrastructure and will provide projects such as Web3 games and Web3 social applications with reliable and efficient connections to most of the popular blockchains.
The event also featured Tencent Cloud’s announcement of strategic collaborations with three other Web3 blockchain partners to build a stronger foundational infrastructure that helps global builders accelerate their adoption of Web3 for the decentralized future. These partnerships are with Avalanche, Scroll, and Sui, and they aim to provide builders with effective cloud-based game development tools and dedicated support to optimize the on-chain gaming experience.

Tencent Cloud unveiled its brand-new Tencent Cloud Metaverse-in-a-Box, which is a comprehensive, one-stop, and easy-to-use solution. It fully integrates Tencent Cloud’s extensive infrastructure, high-performance products, out-of-box SDKs, and low-code solutions, which can be widely applied in gaming, media and entertainment, as well as conventional industries and Web3 natives.
The Web3 ecosystem is rapidly evolving, and Tencent Cloud’s commitment to supporting its development is set to help Web3 builders more seamlessly integrate new developments and accelerate their adoption of Web3.
