Industry leaders Google Cloud and Polygon Labs have announced a strategic alliance at Consensus 2023 to boost the adoption of Polygon protocols, including Polygon PoS, Polygon Supernets, and Polygon zkEVM.
Google Cloud is now the strategic cloud provider for Polygon protocols. In addition, it will bring its node hosting service, Blockchain Node Engine, to Polygon to simplify the process of building, launching, and growing decentralized applications (dApps) on Polygon protocols.
Developers can deploy Polygon PoS nodes on Google Cloud Marketplace through a single click, and by Q3, Polygon Labs will enable one-click developer net (DevNet) deployments on Google Cloud.
Eligible early-stage startups backed by Polygon Ventures may be eligible to receive Web3-specific benefits, such as access to Web3 products and the roadmap of Google Cloud and up to U.S. $200,000 in credits for using Google Cloud and Firebase over two years.

With Google Cloud as a cloud provider and Searce as an implementation partner, Polygon Labs aims to advance its zero-knowledge innovation strategy and eliminate trade-offs between decentralization, scalability, and security.
Initial tests show that running Polygon zkEVM’s zero-knowledge proofs on Google Cloud resulted in faster and cheaper transactions than the existing setup.
Ryan Wyatt, President of Polygon Labs, said that the alliance with Google Cloud would help onboard more people into Web3 and increase transaction throughput, paving the way for Polygon to allow more businesses to embrace blockchain technology.
Google Cloud’s Managing Director, Customer Engineering and Web3 Go-to-Market, Asia Pacific, Mitesh Agarwal, added that Google Cloud aimed to enhance the resilience and performance of scaling protocols like zero-knowledge proofs and to deliver enterprise-ready Web3 infrastructure and developer-friendly tools to offer fast, secure, frictionless, and access to dApps for consumers.
