Google Cloud is now an official validator for the layer-2 blockchain Polygon (MATIC<\/a>) proof-of-stake (POS) network.<\/p>\n

Polygon Labs says that Google Cloud now joins more than 100 other validators in securing the Ethereum (ETH<\/a>) scaling solution\u2019s network.<\/p>\n

The project notes<\/a> that \u201chigh-quality, trusted, security-minded validators like Google Cloud provide an added layer of security\u201d for Polygon users.<\/p>\n

We are now serving as a validator on the Polygon PoS network, contributing to the network’s collective security, governance, and decentralization alongside 100+ other validators. https:\/\/t.co\/l3wkW3GfpA<\/a><\/p>\n

Polygon isn\u2019t the first project Google Cloud is serving as a validator for. In October 2022, the cloud computing platform announced<\/a> it was running a validator node on the Solana (SOL<\/a>) blockchain to help support the network.<\/p>\n

That same month, Google Cloud also rolled out its Blockchain Node Engine<\/a>, a fully managed node-hosting service designed for web3 organizations.<\/p>\n

Ethereum was the first chain supported by the Blockchain Node Engine.<\/p>\n

Google Cloud and Polygon Labs first started collaborating<\/a> in April, when they announced \u201ca multi-year strategic alliance to accelerate adoption of core Polygon protocols.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Polygon Labs announced that the founders and researchers of the blockchain have submitted a proposal that will enable the transition to Polygon 2.0<\/a>, which aims to make the project the \u201cvalue layer of the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The transition, if approved, will upgrade the project\u2019s native MATIC token and rename it to POL.<\/p>\n

MATIC is trading at $0.527 at time of writing. The 14th-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up 1.68% in the past 24 hours.<\/p>\n
