Google Cloud’s Blockchain Node Engine service is expanding its capabilities by adding support for the Polygon second-layer solution, thanks to a strategic partnership with Polygon Labs.
This new development will allow developers to deploy Polygon nodes quickly and easily using Google Cloud’s infrastructure, which already provides support for Ethereum and Solana networks.
With this integration, Google Cloud aims to support the growth of the Polygon network and its transaction volume, enabling developers to build their applications with ease and efficiency.
Polygon Labs co-founder Brendan Farmer emphasized the significance of this partnership, as Google Cloud’s cloud infrastructure will help scale the technology faster, keeping transactions cheap and fast.
He further explained that deploying nodes on both the main Polygon network and within the Polygon Supernets and Polygon zkEVM protocol will be possible, thanks to the ZK technology.
This ZK technology is capable of overcoming traditional blockchain bottlenecks, but it is demanding on computing power.
Hence, the partnership with Google Cloud is crucial for the development of the Polygon zkEVM. In addition, Google Cloud is reportedly planning to launch support for nodes on the Tezos network, marking another significant step towards a decentralized future.
