Google Cloud Gets Deeper Into Crypto, Set To Deploy Tezos Nodes And Become Validator

Google Cloud is set to join the ranks of validators on the Tezos XTZ/USD network, a blockchain platform, to enable its corporate clients to build Web3 applications on the network by deploying Tezos nodes.

This is not Google Cloud's first foray into the blockchain space. The company began offering node-hosting services for Ethereum ETH/USD in October, and became a validator on Solana SOL/USD shortly after.

Notably, Google Cloud has previously highlighted the risks associated with hacked accounts being used to mine cryptocurrency by malicious actors.

This indicates that Google GOOG GOOGL is aware of the specific security risks involved in the digital asset industry.

James Tromans, engineering director of Web3 at Google Cloud, said, "At Google Cloud, we're providing secure and reliable infrastructure for Web3 founders and developers to innovate and scale their applications. We look forward to bringing the dependability and scalability of Google Cloud to power Web3 applications on Tezos."

Last September, Google Cloud agreed to run a validator node on the Ronin RON/USD network, which is a gaming-centric Ethereum sidechain.

Then, a month later, the cloud computing platform launched a blockchain node-hosting engine for Ethereum developers.
