Google Wants To Offer Blockchain Technology to Cloud Platform

Recently, Google announced a new partnership with the New York-based startup Digital Asset, which makes tools to erect blockchain-based application. Moreover, the partnership will also include one Google which already has with the BlockApps and another startup which helps people to make decentralized applications.

In a recent blog post, Google explained that it’s Cloud, now in which customers can easily explore many other ways, and they might also use the distributed ledger technology (DLT) frameworks by using the BlockApps and Digital Asset. However, it is not clear that how it will work for the customers and also whether they will be getting access to the proprietary software, but some more details will be revealed this week in the Google Next ‘18 event. The company has also added that it would also introduce the open-source integrations for the applications which are built with the blockchain-based platforms Hyperledger Fabric and Ethereum after this year in the Google Cloud Product marketplace.

Though the recent partnership will surely provide developers a full load solution so that the customers can easily unleash the latent for web-paced innovation in the blockchain, Blythe Masters, Digital Asset’s CEO stated in a blog post. Now the Google Cloud is helping the Digital Asset by reaching a wider audience of developers across different industry segments which the company could not even reach us due to the sizes. But it is confirmed that the Google was not still paying for the early access.

Mainly the move signals which Google appears into the digital ledger technology to provide its cloud services an edge over the Microsoft Azure and also the Amazon Web Services, Currently hold both more market share than the Google Cloud. The Google had been investing in and also acquiring startups with the experience of the digital ledger, although Google has not particularly articulated some specific interest in acquiring the Digital Asset or BlockApps.

However, the Digital Asset’s partnership provides the Google developers access to a proprietary programming language for the smart contracts. And from there, Google developers can also build the blockchain application, and after down the line, Google could potentially license those applications to some other companies or also provide the customer's access to the applications.

According to the CBInsights, from several years Google has had an interest in the blockchain. And the company was the second most active corporate investor in the blockchain tech from the year 2012 to 2017 period. We have now reached out to the Google for more information.
