Google Cloud has announced partnerships with two blockchain firms, BNB Chain and ZetaChain. BNB Chain received $10 million for its MVB Program, while Google Cloud will validate ZetaChain’s mainnet and testnet. These actions indicate Google Cloud's interest in the blockchain development sector.
In a pair of independent announcements, Google Cloud is undertaking new partnerships with two blockchain firms: ZetaChain and BNB Chain. BNB Chain received funding from Google Cloud for its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Program, with an investment of $10 million in credits for MVB projects. Google Cloud will act as a validator for ZetaChain, securing its mainnet and testnet environments, indicating a strategic ongoing partnership.
BNB Chain, Binance’s blockchain ecosystem, received funding from Google Cloud for its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) Program, with an investment of $10 million in credits for MVB projects. Google Cloud will validate ZetaChain’s mainnet and testnet. These actions indicate increased interest in the blockchain development sector.
In other words, Google Cloud will not have an active working relationship with BNB Chain in the immediate future; it’s just deploying funds. However, these assets will greatly assist large numbers of independent smaller developers, contributing to overall blockchain innovation. Richard Widmann, Head of Web3 Strategy at Google Cloud, emphasizes the commitment to empowering developers for the future of decentralized applications and Web3 interoperability.
Google Cloud also agreed to act as a validator for MANTRA in late October, but Google hasn’t publicly engaged in new blockchain investments since this April. By announcing these two partnerships on the same day, Google Cloud might be signaling a new interest in this tech sphere.
