Polygon Labs announced on Sept. 29<\/a> that it has added Google Cloud to the decentralized group of validators powering its proof-of-stake Network.<\/p>\n Polygon said in its statement that Google Cloud is now among more than 100 validators who secure the Polygon PoS Network, a network that originally operated under the name Matic Network and which acts as a side-chain to the Ethereum<\/a> blockchain.<\/p>\n Polygon noted that the infrastructure that powers YouTube and Gmail now powers Polygon PoS in part. It also called Google Cloud a \u201chigh-quality, trusted, [and] security-minded\u201d validator and said that this adds additional security to the network.<\/p>\n The project also linked to an dashboard page indicating that Google Cloud has staked as much as 10,451 MATIC ($5,484) and earned 29.42 MATIC ($15) to date. Though Google Cloud is more recognizable than any of Polygon\u2019s other validators, it is nevertheless one of the validators with the lowest amount of MATIC staked.<\/p>\n The partnership appears to have had little if any effect on the value of Polygon\u2019s MATIC token. MATIC is up 1.2% over 24 hours while the entire crypto market is up 0.6%.<\/p>\n Polygon and Google Cloud initially began their partnership in April<\/a>. At that time, both companies said the multi-year partnership would involve numerous goals.<\/p>\n The partnership terms indicated that Google Cloud would contribute cloud services to Polygon\u2019s zkEVM scaling solution, provide a managed Polygon node hosting service to Google Cloud users, and support Polygon\u2019s dedicated app-chain. The deal also included $200,000 of funding in Google Cloud credits for Polygon-backed startups.<\/p>\n Beyond that partnership, Google Cloud has also added support for Polygon network data to its BigQuery datasets. The platform made that addition on Sept. 21<\/a> and introduced support for a total of eleven different sets of blockchain data at that time.<\/p>\n The partnership between Polygon and Google Cloud is extensive but not unique. Google Cloud has formed similar validator partnerships with other blockchain networks including but not limited to Solana<\/a>, Voltage<\/a>, Ronin Network, Tezos, and Celo.<\/p>\n The post Polygon adds Google Cloud to its validator set<\/a> appeared first on CryptoSlate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Polygon Labs announced on Sept. 29 that it has added Google Cloud to the decentralized group of validators powering its proof-of-stake Network.
