Google Cloud, the software giant’s remote services arm, has announced a partnership with blockchain company Tezos to become a block validator (“baker”) on its network. As part of this partnership, Google Cloud will also offer Tezos validation services through its platform, enabling easier implementation for customers around the world.
Google Cloud partners with Tezos
google cloud Announced a partnership with Tezos, a decentralized Web3 company, whose goal is to make it easy for Google customers to build and maintain services on top of the Tezos blockchain. The company will become a validator (also known as a “baker”) on the Tezos network, allowing it to be a part of and contribute to the operation of the system.
The partnership encompasses the inclusion of the Tezos blockchain in the Google Cloud platform, making it easier for businesses and developers building and maintaining applications on top of Tezos. This integrates Tezos as another network that Google Cloud customers can access, along with other blockchain projects such as Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Litecoin, Hedera Hashgraph, and Polygon, among others.
Tezos developers will also apparently be able to benefit from this partnership, as some Tezos-incubated startups receive Google credits and tutorials.
Blockchain Importance
For Google Cloud, offering this type of Web3-centric service is key to satisfying the growing number of its customers who want to implement their services in an easy way, allowing them to speed up the development and deployment processes. In this regard, James Tromans, Director of Web3 Engineering at Google Cloud, stated:
Developers know the value of great technology, and we see an opportunity to provide differentiated offerings that build on the foundation that similarly supports many of the products and services that blockchain developers are looking to build.
In addition, Tromans explained that one of the most important achievements of this partnership includes the opportunity for Google Cloud customers to easily run nodes. He believes this allows builders to direct their efforts towards building their products, leaving node management and maintenance to the service. “Running nodes at scale is time consuming, expensive, and ultimately takes attention away from building core products,” he said.
Tezos is currently involved in a project to digitize all California registered vehicle titles to the blockchain, as the California Department of Motor Vehicles revealed in January.
