- Google Cloud has joined the Injective protocol to improve web3 tooling
- Injective developers will be able to access the blockchain’s data through Google Cloud’s BigQuery
- Google Cloud also joins the network as a validator
Google Cloud has joined the Injective network as a validator and also to offer more web3 tools to developers on the blockchain. The move will enable Injective developers to pull data from the blockchain using Google Cloud’s BigQuery, an AI-ready data analytics platform. Injective said that the collaboration “provides tools and secure, scalable infrastructure for developer growth,” a move that is likely meant to attract more developers and users to the blockchain by interfacing the network with reputable web2 platforms.
Injective Developer Suite Hosted on Google Cloud
According to Injective, the blockchain is “part of a select group of protocols that Google Cloud provides web3 services for,” adding that the network will supplement the services by putting its developer suite on Google Cloud.
Injective disclosed that the collaboration is meant to bridge the gap between web2 and web3, allowing developers in the two worlds to easily create applications on the blockchain. It added that Injective developers will be able to access more blockchain tools through Google Cloud’s web3 portal.
Google Cloud’s Rishi Ramchandani said the partnership is part of its mission to work with “foundation layer one networks […] to provide enterprise-ready web3 infrastructure.” Ramchandani added that their mission is also to support blockchain developers by providing easy-to-use tools.
As a validator, Google Cloud will help secure the network, confirm transactions, improve Injective’s decentralization, and contribute to the network’s robustness.
Google Cloud Co-Hosts AI Agent Hackathon
Injective also announced that it’s co-hosting an AI Agent hackathon with Google Cloud, ElizaOS, and DoraHacks. The hackathon allows developers to compete in creating AI-based financial applications.
The cooperation isn’t Google Cloud’s first step into the blockchain and web3 worlds. In the past, it has partnered with blockchain platforms like Near to support web3 developers. Four years ago, it joined EOS, which recently rebranded to Vaulta, as a block producer.
With Google Cloud joining Injective, it will be interesting to see whether the move will increase the adoption of the Injective blockchain.
