In order to be an early bird in embracing the potential of Web 3 technology, Google is setting up a Web3 team within its cloud unit.
As reported by CNBC, the cloud unit of Google will provide back end services to the developers who want to make their own decentralized software and other applications based on blockchain technology.
A Google executive explained: “We’re providing technologies for companies to use and take advantage of the distributed nature of Web3 in their current businesses and enterprises.”
The new Google team under the Google cloud will be lead by James Tromans, a former Citigroup executive. He joined Google in 2019 and will now supervise the product and engineering group.
Amit Zavery, the vice president and head of the Google Cloud, informed that they intend to make Google cloud so user friendly that it becomes the first choice with the developers of web 3 applications. He wrote in an email:
“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”.
Earlier this year in February, The CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet Inc., Sundar Pichai remarked, “We are definitely looking at blockchain,” It’s such an interesting and powerful technology with broad applications.”
Though Google has yet not allowed it’s users to pay for Google services or ads in cryptocoins.
On 27th January, Google cloud announced a new, dedicated Digital Assets Team within Google Cloud to support customers’ needs in building, transacting, storing value, and deploying new products on blockchain-based platforms. This new team will enable our customers to accelerate their efforts in this emerging space and help underpin the blockchain ecosystems of tomorrow.
