Tencent Cloud has also signed a memorandum of understanding with Ankr. Under the agreement, the both parties will jointly develop a "full suite of blockchain API services." The Chinese cloud provider says the new suite of blockchain API services will be available for Web3 games and Web3 social apps.

Poshu Yeung, Senior Vice President at Tencent Cloud, said the company sees a future with Web3 where the physical and digital economies meet and integrate. He added:

"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."
