Google Cloud has entered into a strategic collaboration with BNB Chain to enable early-stage Web3 and blockchain start-ups to develop and scale high-performance, efficient, and sustainable innovations for users and the entire industry.
A combination of BNB Beacon Chain (previously Binance Chain) and BNB Smart Chain (previously Binance Smart Chain), BNB Chain is the largest smart contract blockchain in terms of transaction volume and users in Web3. The blockchain currently has more than 1,300 active decentralized applications (dApps) across multiple categories like decentralized finance (DeFi), metaverse, blockchain games, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in its ecosystem.
Start-ups leveraging BNB Chain’s blockchain infrastructure will be able to build on Google Cloud’s scalable infrastructure. Additionally, these BNB Chain projects can tap Google Cloud services for on-demand analysis of on-chain data and the encryption of data during processing.
