Google Cloud’s Blockchain Node Engine to support developers on Polygon blockchain
Google Cloud has announced that its Blockchain Node Engine, which was previously limited to Ethereum and Solana, will now be available for developers on the Polygon blockchain. This move will enable developers to focus on building on Polygon without the need to configure or run their own nodes. During CoinDesk’s Consensus conference on Thursday, Google Cloud said in a statement that it would provide startups backed by Polygon Ventures with benefits, including server hosting credits and access to its newly announced Web3 startup program. Google Cloud, the cloud computing arm of internet giant Google, created its digital assets and Web3 engineering team last year, which has since established partnerships with various blockchains including BNB Chain, Solana, Aptos, Tezos, Casper, and Celo.
Some fast facts:
- The Blockchain Node Engine will allow developers to build on Polygon without the need to configure or run their own nodes
- Startups backed by Polygon Ventures will get benefits including server hosting credits and access to Google Cloud’s newly announced Web3 startup program
- Polygon’s Ethereum scaling technology is being used by global brands such as Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz
- Polygon’s cryptocurrency, MATIC, rose 6.2% to US$1.02 in the 24 hours to 4:00 a.m. in Hong Kong
Polygon’s Ethereum scaling technology is gaining attention among developers and companies, with global brands such as Starbucks and Mercedes-Benz utilizing it. Google Cloud’s move to support developers on the Polygon blockchain is likely to increase adoption and interest in the technology.
