It’s not the only way the cloud giant has demonstrated its commitment to Blockchain
The cloud giant, Google Cloud, is reiterating its support for the cryptocurrency and Blockchain ecosystem.
In a new move, Google’s cloud services division has added support for 11 additional blockchains to its BigQuery data analytics service. These networks are Avalanche, Arbitrum, Cronos, Fantom, Near, Optimism, Polkadot, Polygon, Tron, and Polygon’s Mumbai and Ethereum’s Goerli Testnet.
The integration means that users can now query data and perform complex queries on these blockchain networks, such as evaluating the number of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) minted on each or contrasting transaction fees between the various chains, according to a publication Thursday’s blog post.
Launched in 2010, BigQuery is one of the most widely used data analysis tools on the market. The solution provides a fully managed enterprise data warehouse that helps users manage and analyze data with built-in features such as machine learning, geospatial analytics, and business intelligence.
Google Cloud and its commitment to Blockchain
Google called these blockchains “on-demand” and said users can now retrieve information about “ the flow of assets from one wallet to another, which tokens are the most popular, and how users interact with smart contracts .” Integration with end-user applications such as Looker and Google Sheets is also available.
The company added that having more access to a wider range of networks can help curious people answer questions like those“ without the overhead of operating nodes or maintaining an indexer.”
Google Cloud first introduced Blockchain data services on BigQuery in 2018. The services were initially available for the two major blockchains by market capitalization: Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The following year, the platform extended support for six more chains: Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Zcash, as The Block recalls. Following the recent integration, the total number of supported networks is 19.
Google’s commitment to advancing Blockchain is not limited to maintaining large data sets from major networks. Google Cloud has also become a validator for several chains, including Solana, Tezos, and Ronin. The cloud services provider has also promoted various initiatives to promote the development of Web3 and Blockchain solutions.
