Binance's blockchain smart contract project, BNB Chain — a hybrid of the BNB Beacon Chain and the BNB Smart Chain, which currently hosts over 1300 dApps (decentralised apps) — has announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud to support the growth, performance, and innovation of Web 3 and blockchain businesses. The 'Google for Startups Cloud Program' will provide certified Web 3 builders in the BNB Chain ecosystem with quick access. Users of the BNB Chain will be able to leverage Google's analytical tools, on-chain data encryption, and cloud computing infrastructure as a result of the collaboration.
According to a press statement, the relationship would see Binance's BNB Chain give paid access to Google for Startups Cloud Program to a percentage of its backed blockchain businesses.
This programme gives credits for Google's cloud computing service for two years. In addition to subsidising access fees, Google Cloud will give mentorship and expanded technical assistance to BNB Chain initiatives.
Projects may also use Google Cloud to obtain on-demand data analysis and encryption services.
According to the statement, BNB Chain projects "may now build on Google Cloud's open, scalable, developer-friendly, secure, and sustainable cloud infrastructure." Google Cloud intends to make its data centres run totally on carbon-free electricity by 2030, thus the promise of sustainability.
"By cooperating with Google Cloud, we can assist these builders in gaining access to the open, secure, and carbon-neutral cloud infrastructure required to develop and scale their businesses," said Gwendolyn Regina, Investment Director of BNB Chain.
Google has previously collaborated with Hedera, Ontology, Theta Network, EOS, Polygon, Dapper Labs, and Bakkt, among others.
It is also worth noting that BNB Chain is a network that supports a number of well-known applications, such as the decentralised exchange PancakeSwap and the liquid staking platform Ankr.
