Google is joining the list of tech giants to deploy blockchain technology to offer customers fintech and cloud service solutions, according to an official statement Monday, July 23.
Google announced that the company has partnered with two blockchain-focused firms, Digital Asset and BlockApps, to offer new distributed ledger technology (DLT) solutions on Google’s Cloud Platform (GCP), which would allow users to “explore ways [customers] might use distributed ledger technology frameworks.” Digital Asset is a supplier of distributed ledger software for the fintech industry, while BlockApps offers a blockchain platform to launch decentralized apps (DApps).
With the new partnerships, Google joins other high-profile tech companies with blockchain-as-a-service (BaaS) offerings, such as Microsoft, IBM, and Oracle Amazon Web Services (AWS), which introduced its blockchain platform for DApps in April 2018.
On July 8, Google co-founder Sergey Brin revealed that he is Ethereum miner.
Speaking at the Blockchain Summit in Morocco Brin said that mining Ethereum was a “side hustle,” and that cryptocurrencies are “mind-boggling.”
