Google Cloud has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the Solana Ecosystem. This collaboration will pave the way for Google Cloud to become a Solana validator and integrate the Solana network to its Blockchain Node Engine.
Google Cloud And Solana Network Team Up
A game-changing announcement was made, with Google Cloud and Solana partnering together to foster additional growth and development in the crypto space. As the world’s leading cloud service provider, Google Cloud will collaborate with Solana to become an integral part of the Solana ecosystem and introduce Solana to its extensive array of products and services.
Previous partnerships involved Google Cloud and the BNB network, however, they’ve gone one step further by integrating Solana into this ecosystem.
Google Cloud announced that it would handle and run a block-producing Solana validator, which would grant it access to participate in Solana network validation.
Aside from the role of validator, Google Cloud has been working with Solana to introduce its Blockchain Node Engine to the Solana System. This Blockchain Node is a node hosting service that is fully sponsored and maintained by Google Cloud, reducing the need for complex node operations. One aspect is the provision of turnkey node hosting, which was previously exclusive to Ethereum and its ecosystem.
Benefits Of This Partnership
The addition of Solana to this blockchain node engine will result in a significant reduction in the time necessary to run a solana node, making it more accessible and easy to users.
More Google Cloud intel indicates that the company is also working on indexing data from the Solana ecosystem and uploading it to BigQuery.
Google Cloud’s warehouse is programmed in such a manner that it can allow a significant volume of database from the Solana network to be queried quickly and efficiently using Google’s massive processing capacity.
As a result of this announcement, the solana token increased by 13%, resulting in a new price of $38.
