SINGAPORE, 20 July 2023 - ChainUp, a leading global blockchain technology service provider, has established a partnership between its Web3 node infrastructure platform, ChainUp Cloud and ARPA Network, a leading blockchain-based layer-2 solution for privacy-preserving cryptographic systems, to provide a range of Web3 node services to ARPA. This partnership aims to support and facilitate  ARPA's efforts to contribute to the acceleration of a fair, open and interconnected Web3.

ChainUp Cloud has made significant investments in the development and implementation of Web3. With a proven track record of providing staking and software support for over 60 Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks, coupled with extensive experience in operating critical internet infrastructure, ChainUp Cloud will provide valuable expertise to ARPA in their pursuit of complete decentralisation.

With ARPA’s innovative cryptographic systems to make blockchains more versatile, reliable, and interlinked, this partnership represents a significant milestone in their Web3 efforts through decentralising node operations to minimise the risk of power concentration and optimise network performance.

ChainUp Cloud’s Web3 node services will strengthen ARPA’s resilience against malicious attacks, while also nurturing the development of ARPA’s ecosystem. Through this collaboration, ChainUp Cloud also sets its sight on expanding its technology and expertise in the Web3 domain to contribute to the development of a fair, open, and interconnected Web3 ecosystem.

Felix Xu, CEO and co-founder of ARPA, said, "This partnership will strengthen the node and staking infrastructure of ARPA Network, while supporting ARPA’s exploration of multi-chain expansion. Additionally, ChainUp's extensive experience in providing developer tools will greatly assist ARPA Randcast in optimising the Random Number Generator SDK."
