Google Cloud Expands BigQuery with 11 New Blockchains for Data Analytics

Google Cloud’s BigQuery data analytics service has expanded its support to include 11 additional blockchains.

These newly integrated blockchains are Avalanche, Arbitrum, Cronos, Fantom, Near, Optimism, Polkadot, Polygon, and Tron, as well as the test networks Polygon Mumbai and Ethereum Goerli.

With this expansion, Google Cloud users can now perform more intricate on-chain queries, such as analyzing the number of NFTs created or comparing transaction fees across these various blockchain networks. The integration also extends to end-user applications like Looker and Google Sheets.

BigQuery, a managed data warehouse service provided by Google Cloud, empowers users to execute SQL-like queries on extensive datasets.

In 2018, Google Cloud introduced its blockchain data services in BigQuery, offering developers access to on-chain data from Bitcoin and Ethereum.

The following year, it expanded its support to encompass six more blockchains: Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Zcash.
