Google Cloud and Polygon Labs have announced a multi-year strategic alliance to strengthen the adoption of core Polygon protocols, making it faster for developers to launch, build, and grow their Web3 products and decentralized applications.

With its infrastructure and developer tools, Google Cloud will support all Polygon protocols, including Polygon PoS, Polygon Supernets, and Polygon zkEVM.

Google Cloud will introduce Blockchain Node Engine, a fully managed node hosting solution, to the Polygon ecosystem to assist developers in overcoming the time-consuming procedures and expensive overheads associated with provisioning, maintaining, and operating their own dedicated blockchain nodes.

"Google Cloud supporting all of the Polygon protocols is a step in the right direction to help onboard more people into Web3," stated Ryan Wyatt, President, Polygon Labs, during the "Consensus 2023" gathering.

Eligible early-stage firms sponsored by Polygon Ventures are now eligible to earn recently announced Web3-specific incentives through the Google for firms Cloud Programme, giving entrepreneurs in the Polygon ecosystem greater resources to scale their breakthrough Web3 products and decentralised apps.

This includes free access to hands-on learning labs specialising in Web3 and the most recent Google Cloud technology, up to $200,000 in credits for their Google Cloud and Firebase usage for up to two years, early access to Google Cloud's Web3 products and roadmap, invitation to a gated Discord channel with Google Cloud's Web3 product and engineering teams, and more.

Mitesh Agarwal, Managing Director, Customer Engineering and Web3 Go-to-Market, Asia Pacific, Google Cloud, said, "We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Polygon Labs to deliver the enterprise-ready Web3 infrastructure and developer-friendly tools that businesses need to offer fast, frictionless, and secure access to dApps for consumers."
