Polygon Labs, the maker of the Polygon (MATIC) blockchain, has inked a multi-year strategic alliance with Google Cloud, a suite of cloud computing services offered by Google, to accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology, making it easier for developers to build, launch, and grow their Web3 products and decentralized applications (dApp).

Web3 and decentralization have gained a cult following on a global scale, dispersing power away from the monopolistic central authority. The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape has grown multi folds in the face of various factors such as macroeconomic factors, banking crisis, and recent market shocks.

Over the recent few years, DeFi and Web3 have undergone testing, strengthening, and improvement enhancing user experience along with creating a wide range of use cases across different industries. These burgeoning technologies have reinvented the scope of user ownership with better security.

Partnership To Benefit Both Companies

On April 27, Polygon Labs announced the partnership with Google Cloud to support all Polygon protocols including Polygon PoS, Polygon Supernets, and Polygon zkEVM. The collaboration aims to make it easier for developers to build and launch Web3 products and dApps on the MATIC blockchain.  

As part of the deal, Google will make its node hosting and management service, Blockchain Node Engine, available for Polygon PoS Chain node operators. Polygon President Ryan Wyatt explained the partnership with Google will boost the adoption of blockchain technology through Polygon.

With Google Cloud as a cloud provider facilitating technical implementation, Polygon Labs will advance its zero-knowledge innovation strategy and enable Web3 developers to avoid trade-offs between decentralization, scalability, and security.
