Google Cloud has become an official validator for Injective, a decentralized finance (DeFi) blockchain. This announcement was made on Wednesday.
By joining Injective, Google Cloud will work alongside other validators like Deutsche Telekom MMS. Their role is to secure the Injective network, validate transactions, and support decentralization.
Google Cloud brings advanced infrastructure and expertise to Injective. This partnership will improve security and transaction validation for the network. Injective is now part of a select group of blockchain protocols that receive specialized web3 services from Google Cloud. This partnership provides Injective with access to advanced tools and resources, enhancing the developer experience and operational efficiency.
Injective’s developer suite is hosted on Google Cloud. This allows developers to build, test, and deploy decentralized applications (dApps) easily. Eric Chen, CEO of Injective Labs, expressed excitement about using Google Cloud’s technology to develop the network further.
Developers can access Google Cloud’s web3 portal, which offers essential resources like testnet tools and tutorials. They can also use the Web3 Faucet to get INJ testnet tokens.
Additionally, Injective’s blockchain data is integrated with Google Cloud’s BigQuery data warehouse, called Injective Nexus. This integration allows developers to access real-time chain data for creating DeFi applications and machine learning models.
Rishi Ramchandani, Head of Web3 GTM at Google Cloud Asia Pacific, stated that Google Cloud is dedicated to supporting the growth of Web3. They aim to provide reliable infrastructure and developer-friendly tools to enhance the ecosystem.
Injective, along with Google Cloud, ElizaOS, and DoraHacks, is hosting an AI Agent Hackathon. Developers can use Injective’s AI Agent builder, iAgent, to create innovative financial applications like trading bots and launchpads. Before partnering with Injective, Google Cloud had already joined several other networks as a validator, including Celo and Solana.
