The Zilliqa team announced via a blog post on Wednesday that it has entered a multi-year strategic alliance with Google Cloud. The collaboration will enhance the scalability, resilience, and data availability of the Zilliqa layer-1 blockchain protocol.
With Google Cloud's involvement, ventures both within Zilliqa Group and across the wider ecosystem stand to benefit from a more robust platform underpinning the range of Web3 services and decentralized applications (dApps) built on the Zilliqa blockchain. Furthermore, Google Cloud will become a staked seed node (SSN) operator on the Zilliqa network, joining an existing set of 28 SSN operators.
Zilliqa (ZIL) is one of the world’s first blockchains being built on a sharded architecture and features smart contracts written in the platform’s proprietary programming language: Scilla. ZIL is trading at $0.01612 at press time, up by 2% in the last 24 hours.
