Polygon Labs announced on Friday that Google Cloud has joined its ranks as a decentralized validator.
In a September 29 statement on X, Polygon highlighted that the infrastructure powering Google’s flagship products like YouTube is now helping to fortify its protocol.
Google Cloud’s Role as Polygon Validator
Polygon described Google Cloud as a “high-quality, trusted, security-minded validator.” As a validator, Google Cloud will verify transactions and enhance the security of Heimdall, Bor, and Polygon PoS users. This addition will further help to bolster the network’s credibility and drive adoption.
On the other hand, Google Cloud emphasized its commitment to contributing to the collective security, governance, and decentralization of the layer2 network.
Crypto YouTuber Ajay Kashyap said the new development was evidence of Polygon network’s overall growth despite the prevailing market situation.
Kashyap opined that:
“MATIC is that one Crypto project that has not only survived during the Bear run but also managed to spread itself worldwide From building new products to collaboration and partnership.”
