TL;DR
- Cronos Labs expands its partnership with Google Cloud, making it the primary cloud service provider for its ecosystem.
- Google Cloud integrates as a validator, enhancing the security and stability of the blockchain, and collaborating in the development of Cronos zkEVM, a Layer-2 solution based on zk technology.
- The partnership provides developers with access to advanced AI, analytics, and computing tools from Google Cloud, as well as resources for startups.
Cronos Labs has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Google Cloud, establishing the latter as the primary cloud service provider for its blockchain ecosystem.
This partnership will not only strengthen the technical infrastructure of the network but will also drive the development of advanced decentralized applications (dApps) using artificial intelligence (AI), data, and computing tools from Google Cloud.
In this framework, Google Cloud will integrate as a validator within the Cronos network, which will enhance the stability and security of the blockchain. This collaboration aligns with Cronos Labs’ goal of partnering with open-source contributors and validators with strong technical expertise.
Enhancing Blockchain Scalability
In addition to validation, the focus of the partnership is on improving the performance and scalability of the network, particularly through the infrastructure supporting Cronos zkEVM, a Layer-2 (L2) solution that uses zero-knowledge (zk) technology to improve transaction efficiency.
A key aspect of the partnership is the access to advanced resources for developers, who will be able to create more innovative applications using the power of AI and advanced analytics provided by Google Cloud.
Cronos to Access Google Resources and Mentorship
The full data of the Cronos EVM and zkEVM chains will now be available on Google Cloud, making it easier to explore this data through tools such as BigQuery and Blockchain Analytics. This will enable new ways to interact with the blockchain, such as natural language queries, AI-driven transactions, and pattern detection for trading, which presents an opportunity to explore innovative use cases.
Furthermore, in an effort to foster startup growth, the platform will expand its collaboration with the Google for Startups Cloud program, providing Cronos Accelerator projects with access to resources, training, and mentorship. Startups will now be able to integrate AI into their Web3 applications, developing advanced solutions with the support of Google Cloud and its Web3 partner network
