Google Cloud has joined forces with ZetaChain to support its Universal Blockchain.
The collaboration, announced in a ZetaChain post, aims to drive broader adoption of Web3 technology and facilitate the development of apps that can operate across multiple blockchains.
Google Cloud will become a validator for ZetaChain (ZETA), helping to secure and scale the blockchain ecosystem.
ZetaChain’s Universal Blockchain allows developers to create “Universal Apps” — decentralized applications that can function on any blockchain network, such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH).
This approach differs from most blockchains, which are often isolated and unable to share data or assets with other networks.
ZetaChain’s model aims to increase accessibility and connectivity in the blockchain world, akin to how the internet enables seamless access to various websites and platforms.
As a validator, Google Cloud will leverage its infrastructure to secure transactions on ZetaChain’s blockchain. This role is essential in maintaining the blockchain’s integrity by verifying and recording data, ensuring a reliable ledger for all participants.
Zeta Tokens
ZetaChain is also committing to delegate 1 million of its native tokens across five validators on Google Cloud’s infrastructure. This delegation strengthens the network by funding and incentivizing validator activities, which are critical for maintaining security and functionality.
Developers building on ZetaChain will now have access to Google Cloud’s Web3 Startups Program, offering cloud credits that could help offset infrastructure costs.
Additionally, Google Cloud will integrate ZetaChain’s testnet faucet, allowing developers quick access to test tokens, streamlining app testing and development.
Google Cloud also supported the BNB Chain ecosystem by investing $10 million in its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator program. This investment aims to boost decentralized application development on the BNB Chain through Google Cloud’s Web3 Startups Program.
