September Check: Polygon Lands Google Cloud as its Latest Validator

Google Cloud as a Validator

Polygon’s post proudly proclaimed, “This month, @GoogleCloud became part of the decentralized validator set for Polygon PoS.” This announcement is more than just another collaboration as many in the blockchain ecosystem have noted.

It symbolizes the convergence of established tech giants and innovative blockchain platforms. Google Cloud, known for powering digital giants like YouTube and Gmail, is now contributing its formidable infrastructure to secure the fast, low-cost Polygon protocol.

With over 100 validators already working diligently to secure the Polygon PoS network, Google Cloud finds itself in good company. These validators play a crucial role in maintaining the network’s integrity, consensus, and security. Each validator is responsible for validating transactions, proposing new blocks, and ensuring that the network functions smoothly.

The Google Cloud Singapore account verified on X that Google Cloud was “now serving as a validator on the Polygon PoS network,” adding that it would be “contributing to the network’s collective security, governance, and decentralization alongside 100+ other validators.”

While many of Polygon’s validators remain unknown, Google Cloud joins Deutsche Telekom, one of Europe’s biggest telecoms companies, on the network.

Polygon’s Path to Scalability and Innovation

The year 2023 has witnessed Polygon taking bold strides towards scalability and innovation. Through a series of strategic moves and developments, Polygon has cemented its position as a leading player in the blockchain space.

March of this year marked a pivotal moment for Polygon when it introduced the beta version of its zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) to the public. This innovative technology promised to enhance the scalability and efficiency of the Polygon network, attracting considerable attention within the blockchain community.

Another recent topic of interest in the Polygon community is the “Polygon 2.0” initiative. This initiative represents Polygon’s ongoing commitment to innovation and improvement. Recent reports revealed that “Phase 0” of the Polygon 2.0 initiative has introduced three pivotal Polygon Improvement Proposals (PIPs 17-19).
