Google Cloud to optimize Polygon zkEVM scaling performance

Polygon Labs and Google Cloud announced a multi-year concern astatine Consensus 2023 that volition spot the unreality computing work supplier assistance boost the improvement of the Ethereum (ETH) scaling protocol’s tools and infrastructure.

Polygon’s halfway protocols, including Polygon PoS (proof-of-stake), Polygon zkEVM and Polygon Supernets, are acceptable to payment from the proviso of Google Cloud’s model and developer tools. The concern is aimed astatine simplifying developer integration to build, motorboat and turn Web3 products and decentralized applications (DApp) connected Polygon.

Google Cloud’s concern with the ecosystem is expected to beforehand Polygon’s zero-knowledge development. Testing of Polygon zkEVM’s zero-knowledge proofs (zk-proofs) connected Google Cloud reportedly resulted successful faster and cheaper transactions compared to the existing infrastructure available.

The Polygon zkEVM beta, an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) scaling solution, was launched to mainnet successful March 2023, powering reduced transaction costs and accrued throughput of astute declaration deployments.

Google Cloud’s Blockchain Node Engine volition beryllium utilized by the Polygon ecosystem to assistance with time-intensive processes and costly overheads of acquiring, maintaining and operating dedicated blockchain nodes. This circumstantial integration intends to region the request for Polygon developers to configure and tally Polygon PoS nodes.

Polygon Labs president Ryan Wyatt highlighted the wide assortment of benefits to the protocol’s ecosystem done the concern successful a connection coinciding with the rotation retired of the collaboration:

“Today's announcement with Google Cloud aims to summation transaction throughput enabling usage cases successful gaming, proviso concatenation management, and DeFi.”

Google Cloud’s APAC managing manager of engineering and Web3 go-to-market Mitesh Agarwal said its services are improving information availability, resilience and show of scaling protocols similar zk-proofs.

The concern volition besides supply superior resources to Polygon ecosystem developers and companies gathering Web3 products and DApps. Certain early-stage Polygon Ventures-backed startups volition besides beryllium capable to person newly-launched Web3-specific benefits from the Google for Startups Cloud Program.

Google Cloud’s startup accelerator programme now supports 11 large blockchain firms. Meanwhile, blockchain analytics steadfast Nansen besides announced that its information services would beryllium disposable to projects successful Google Cloud’s Web3 startup program.
