Google revealed it will be launching a cloud-based node engine for Ethereum projects. The company said its Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine will be a “fully managed node-hosting service that can minimize the need for node operations,” meaning that Google will be responsible for monitoring node activity and restarting them during outages.
Earlier this month, Google formed a partnership with crypto exchange Coinbase to provide crypto payments for its cloud services. In September, Google Cloud and BNB Chain announced a partnership to support the growth of early-stage web3 startups. Lastly, Google revealed in January that it was building a Digital Assets Team for Google Cloud, showing its commitment to building web3 projects. Big moves for Google in web3 so far this year.
