Partnership Aims to Accelerate Cronos Ecosystem’s Growth
A strategic relationship extension with Google Cloud has been announced by Cronos Labs, a blockchain startup accelerator dedicated to expanding the Cronos blockchain ecosystem.
Google Cloud will be the main cloud provider for Cronos and its ecosystem as a result of this partnership. The partnership will focus on onboarding Google Cloud as a Cronos validator with technical innovation to enhance Cronos’s performance.
Additional focus areas will be the increasing developer adoption of Cronos and Google Cloud at the intersection of AI and blockchain, and a value creation package for startups of the Cronos Accelerator program.
Ken Timsit, MD at Cronos Labs, said:
The partnership with Google Cloud brings tangible value to end-users and developers in several ways. First, it enhances the security and reliability of the whole network. Second, it makes the Cronos Accelerator program even more appealing to startups. Finally, it opens the door to the creation of a new generation of innovative decentralized applications using Google Cloud’s data processing, computing and AI capabilities.
By joining a group of 32 validators on the open-source Cronos EVM protocol, Google Cloud aims to help keep the network stable and secure. Cronos Labs believes this is a big win for Cronos, as Google Cloud brings a higher level of stability for nodes which play a critical role in the decentralized creation and verification of new blocks.
Cronos Labs reckons the inclusion of Google Cloud is consistent with Cronos’ approach of collaborating with open-source contributors and validators who possess strong technological know-how. Among the top-tier validators that contribute to the Cronos ecosystem are Crypto.com, Blockdaemon, Ubisoft, and Exaion.
