Google Cloud has announced that it will partner with Casper Labs, which developed Casper, which serves large corporations and government agencies.
As part of the upcoming partnership, Casper Labs will migrate some of its infrastructure to Google Cloud’s servers, giving developers working on the Casper blockchain access to the cloud provider’s storage and hosting services.
Mrinal Manohar, co-founder and CEO of Casper Labs, told Fortune: “This collaboration helps us make things truly accessible for people who want to use this technology but don’t know how.” used the phrases.
Google Cloud’s Crypto Partnerships May Continue
The addition of Casper Labs to Google Cloud’s growing list of blockchain partnerships stands out as part of their Web3 initiative. Google Cloud’s link with Casper Labs could also be an attempt to diversify its Web3 portfolio, as Casper markets its technology to large businesses and government agencies.
Casper Labs co-founder and CEO Manohar thinks Casper’s focus on long-term customers and large enterprises is attractive to Google Cloud. A spokesperson for Google’s cloud computing division declined to elaborate on why Google chose Casper. However, Google Cloud Web3 Director of Engineering James Tromans had some comments on the subject. Tromans stated that through work with Casper Labs, Google Cloud can provide a secure and sustainable cloud infrastructure for developers.
Manohar said that unlike other blockchains, Casper has a number of add-ons that make it attractive for large organizations. These include using existing programming languages instead of languages developed specifically for blockchains, and allowing users to mix private blockchains with public chains. Manohar added that this feature is important when working with sensitive information such as Social Security ID numbers.
Manohar cites its partnership with IPwe, a patent firm, as an example, though Casper Labs says it won’t reveal all of its customers.
This collaboration of Google Cloud with Casper Labs stands out as its latest step into the world of Web3. The company announced the establishment of digital assets and Web3 teams in the first half of 2022. In the fall of 2022, it entered into a partnership with Coinbase, which allowed some of Google Cloud’s customers to pay for server space with cryptocurrency. It then launched the Blockchain Node Engine, a streamlined tool for developers to access and use blockchains on Google’s servers.
