Polygon Labs Taps Google Cloud to Enhance Network Security
Polygon Labs recently announced the integration of Google Cloud into its decentralized proof-of-stake (PoS) authentication network. Google Cloud is now among over 100 security authenticators supporting Polygon PoS, originally known as Matic Network, an Ethereum sidechain.
According to Polygon, YouTube and Gmail infrastructure now partially support Polygon PoS, enhancing the network's security. The collaboration aims to provide a high-quality and secure authentication mechanism, augmenting security for the network.
While Google Cloud's contribution to the MATIC staking pool is identifiable, it is among the validators with the lowest staked MATIC. Despite this collaboration, MATIC token's value saw a 1.2% increase in a 24-hour period, while the overall cryptocurrency market increased by 0.6%.
Polygon and Google Cloud have established a close partnership since April, focusing on various objectives. Google Cloud contributes cloud services to Polygon's zkEVM scaling solution, offers managed Polygon node storage services, and supports Polygon's specialized dapp chains.
Additionally, Google Cloud enhances support for Polygon's network data in its BigQuery dataset, which was introduced on September 21, covering a total of 11 different blockchain datasets.
The collaboration between Polygon and Google Cloud is extensive and far-reaching. Google Cloud has similarly partnered with other blockchain networks like Solana, Avalanche, Ronin Network, Tezos, and Celo, extending its support for secure and decentralized authentication mechanisms.
