Cloud Hosting

In a move towards the burgeoning world of Web3, Google Cloud has recently revealed its alliance with Polygon Labs. This partnership will simplify the process for developers to build, launch, and scale Web3 applications and decentralized platforms on Ethereum's Layer-2 scalability infrastructure, Polygon.

Web3 represents the next generation of the internet, where decentralized blockchain technologies play a central role. This collaboration is a significant step in Google's journey into the Web3 space, having long been a dominant player in the Web2 era.

Polygon Labs, known for its Ethereum scaling and infrastructure development, will now benefit from Google's Blockchain Node Engine. This fully managed node hosting service will be integrated into the Polygon ecosystem, streamlining the process for developers. They can now focus on constructing the protocol, maintaining complete control over their deployed nodes, and eliminating the worry of configuring and running Polygon Proof of Stake (PoS) nodes.

Moreover, the Google Cloud marketplace is set to offer a one-click deployment of the Polygon PoS node, enabling developers to power their decentralized applications (dApps) swiftly and effortlessly.

The partnership is expected to significantly enhance transaction throughput, unlocking the new potential within industries such as supply chain, gaming, and decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Polygon blockchain.

Google's proactive move into the Web3 space also extends to the recent launch of the "Google for Startups Cloud Program." This initiative aims to support Web3 startups and emerging projects, assisting them in scaling their projects more rapidly and securely.

Additionally, Google's collaboration with the Celo Foundation earlier this month will offer workshops and cloud computing services to Web3 developers and founders building on Celo. The tech giant's partnership with Polygon is also expected to boost the latter's zero-knowledge innovation strategy, resulting in faster and cheaper transactions.

Polygon's recent public release of its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) beta will also be augmented by Google Cloud's input. Initial tests running Polygon zkEVMs zero-knowledge proofs on Google Cloud have demonstrated a significant improvement in transaction speed and cost compared to the current setup.

Mitesh Agarwal, managing director of customer engineering and Web3 go-to-market, Asia Pacific of Google Cloud, briefly summarized the company's approach: Google Cloud is helping the industry achieve escape velocity by directing our engineering efforts toward areas like improving data availability and enhancing the resilience and performance of scaling protocols like zero-knowledge proofs.

In conclusion, this partnership between Google Cloud and Polygon Labs presents a significant leap in Web3 adoption, demonstrating the critical role of collaboration in advancing decentralized technology.
