After Google Cloud announced that it would offer a product called the \u201cBlockchain Node Engine\u201d and further noted that Ethereum would be the first blockchain supported, the company revealed it was running a Solana validator on Nov. 5, 2022. Google said that the cloud division is currently working with Solana in order to bring the firm\u2019s Blockchain Node Engine to the Solana chain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Google Is Operating a Block-Producing Solana Validator, Firm\u2019s Cloud Division Aims to Add Solana to Blockchain Node Engine\u2019s Supported Blockchains in 2023<\/h2>\n

Google is stepping toward other blockchains after revealing<\/a> the Blockchain Node Engine at the end of October. According to a tweet from Google Cloud\u2019s official Twitter account, the firm is already running a Solana validator. \u201cGoogle Cloud is running a block-producing [Solana] validator to participate in and validate the network,\u201d the company tweeted<\/a>. The company added:<\/p>\n

Google Cloud is working with [Solana] to bring Blockchain Node Engine to the Solana chain next year, so it will be easy for anyone to launch a dedicated Solana node in the cloud.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In addition to bringing Blockchain Node Engine support to Solana, Google Cloud will be indexing the Solana blockchain and bringing the data to \u201cBig Query\u201d next year. The goal is to \u201cmake it easier for the Solana developer ecosystem to access historical data.\u201d Solana\u2019s native token solana (SOL) jumped in value on the announcement and SOL is up 7.8% higher against the U.S. dollar this week.<\/p>\n

However, not everyone was thrilled about Google\u2019s mission to host Solana nodes in the cloud. \u201cThis \u2026 Is not a good thing. More and more centralization. This is like the opposite point of crypto,\u201d one person criticized<\/a> in the Google Cloud announcement thread on Twitter. Another individual agreed with the person\u2019s critique and replied<\/a>: \u201cCrypto went full redacted in 2017. People now celebrate centralized and custodial services because it makes number go up.\u201d<\/p>\n
