Amid crypto hype, Google’s cloud unit creates Web3 team
Google’s cloud unit announced on Friday the formation of an internal team that will build services for blockchain developers and those running blockchain-based applications. This comes amid an explosion of interest, activity, and adoption of crypto and Web3 tools from traditional sectors of the economy.
Vice president at Google Cloud, Amit Zavery, reportedly told his team in an email on Friday of the aim to make the Google Cloud platform the first choice for developers in Web3. Google Cloud is the company’s suite of cloud computing services, on which all Google-related projects run.
As per CNBC, his email read: “While the world is still early in its embrace of Web3, it is a market that is already demonstrating tremendous potential with many customers asking us to increase our support for Web3 and Crypto related technologies.”
An internal team with an exclusive focus on Web3 development shows Google’s commitment to the innovation seen in the space. It also follows their creation of a digital assets team in January, which was a result of the massive interest in nonfungible tokens, or NFTs.
Zavery added that future moves for Google could entail a system that simplifies accessibility to blockchain data, as well as a simplified process for building and running blockchain-based nodes for transactions. Allegedly new job postings appeared on Google’s internal Grow tool.
