Google Cloud and Polygon Labs are collaborating to make it simpler for developers to create, release, and grow their Web3 products and decentralized applications (dapps) on the layer 2 blockchain powered by Ethereum.
Google Cloud to Support Polygon’s Growth Through Novel Agreement
According to a statement made by the company at Consensus 2023 in Austin, Texas, Google Cloud will extend its Blockchain Node Engine, the tech giant’s fully managed node hosting service, to the Polygon ecosystem as part of the new partnership. This will allow developers to concentrate on enhancing the protocol while maintaining total control over where nodes are deployed.
“Today’s announcement with Google Cloud aims to increase transaction throughput enabling use cases in gaming, supply chain management, and DeFi. This will pave the way for even more businesses to embrace blockchain technology through Polygon.”
Ryan Wyatt, Polygon President
Google’s Relationship with Web3
Powerhouse Web2 company Google has been actively advancing into the Web3 space in recent years by opening up more of its technical know-how to project developers. The “Google for Startups Cloud Program” was just introduced. This program will help companies and new ventures in the Web3 sector scale more quickly and securely. Additionally, the Celo Foundation announced earlier this month that it was collaborating with Google Cloud to provide training sessions and cloud computing services to programmers and Web3 founders using Celo.
About the Partnership with Polygon
The tech giant claimed that its collaboration with Polygon would also help the protocol develop its zero-knowledge innovation goal and possibly speed up and lower the cost of transactions. Initial experiments to run Polygon zkEVM’s zero-knowledge proofs on Google Cloud, for example, produced transactions that were substantially faster and less expensive than those produced by the current configuration, according to the statement. Last month, Polygon launched the public beta version of its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM).
