According to Odaily, the Wormhole Foundation, the development team behind Wormhole, has announced that Google Cloud has become the latest member of its Guardian Network. The Guardian Network is a decentralized group of reputable validator nodes, including RockawayX, P2P, Figment, and Everstake, which play a crucial role in transaction validation. This network is a cornerstone of the Wormhole ecosystem's security and validation technology. By joining as a Guardian node, Google Cloud's infrastructure enhances the decentralized network, ensuring uptime and providing redundancy coverage by immediately backfilling any Guardian that experiences downtime.
