Google Cloud has officially joined the Cronos blockchain as its main validator. In simple terms, this means Google Cloud will help verify and secure transactions on Cronos, a network supported by other major players like Crypto.com and Blockdaemon. By taking on this role, Google Cloud is stepping deeper into the Web3 world, helping to keep the network safe and reliable.
Empowering Developers to Build on Web3
This partnership brings Google Cloud’s cutting-edge tools—like data processing, AI, and computing power—into the hands of Cronos developers. With these resources, developers can create new and innovative decentralized applications (dApps), which are apps that run on blockchain technology instead of a centralized system. Google Cloud’s involvement also makes Cronos more appealing to startups that want to build in Web3.
Why Big Tech Is Watching Web3
For tech companies that focus on developers, Web3 is becoming too big to ignore. Open-source projects and innovations have been growing here for years, and Web3 keeps expanding. Ken Timsit, a managing director at Cronos Labs, says that Google Cloud’s role strengthens Cronos’ appeal to developers and startups alike, setting the stage for future applications that can harness the power of blockchain, data processing, and AI all at once.
