Polygon Labs and Google Cloud introduced a multi-year partnership at Consensus 2023 that can see the cloud computing service supplier assist enhance the event of the Ethereum (ETH) scaling protocol’s instruments and infrastructure.
Polygon’s core protocols, together with Polygon PoS (proof-of-stake), Polygon zkEVM and Polygon Supernets, are set to profit from the availability of Google Cloud’s framework and developer instruments. The partnership is geared toward simplifying developer integration to construct, launch and develop Web3 merchandise and decentralized functions (DApp) on Polygon.
Google Cloud’s partnership with the ecosystem is anticipated to advance Polygon’s zero-knowledge improvement. Testing of Polygon zkEVM’s zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) on Google Cloud reportedly resulted in sooner and cheaper transactions in comparison with the prevailing infrastructure accessible.
The Polygon zkEVM beta, an Ethereum Digital Machine (EVM) scaling answer, was launched to mainnet in March 2023, powering diminished transaction prices and elevated throughput of good contract deployments.

Google Cloud’s Blockchain Node Engine might be utilized by the Polygon ecosystem to help with time-intensive processes and expensive overheads of buying, sustaining and working devoted blockchain nodes. This particular integration intends to take away the necessity for Polygon builders to configure and run Polygon PoS nodes.
Polygon Labs president Ryan Wyatt highlighted the big variety of advantages to the protocol’s ecosystem by the partnership in a press release coinciding with the roll out of the collaboration:
“At this time’s announcement with Google Cloud goals to extend transaction throughput enabling use instances in gaming, provide chain administration, and DeFi.”
Google Cloud’s APAC managing director of engineering and Web3 go-to-market Mitesh Agarwal stated its providers are enhancing information availability, resilience and efficiency of scaling protocols like zk-proofs.
The partnership may also present capital assets to Polygon ecosystem builders and corporations constructing Web3 merchandise and DApps. Sure early-stage Polygon Ventures-backed startups may also be capable to obtain newly-launched Web3-specific advantages from the Google for Startups Cloud Program.
Google Cloud’s startup accelerator program now supports 11 major blockchain firms. In the meantime, blockchain analytics firm Nansen additionally introduced that its information providers could be accessible to tasks in Google Cloud’s Web3 startup program.
