BNB Chain (formerly known as Binance Coin), the largest smart contract blockchain in terms of transaction volume and users in Web3, and Google Cloud have formed a strategic partnership to help early-stage Web3 and blockchain startups develop and scale high-performance, efficient, and sustainable innovations for users and the industry as a whole.
Both parties said in a statement on Wednesday that this collaboration expands BNB Chain's commitment to providing talented Web3 builders with the foundational infrastructure needed to grow their projects and decentralized applications (dApps) into stable, reliable, and valuable parts of the larger ecosystem.
BNB Chain, a hybrid of BNB Beacon Chain and BNB Smart Chain (previously Binance Smart Chain), now has over 1,300 active dApps in its ecosystem, including decentralized finance (DeFi), metaverse, blockchain games, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Startups that use BNB Chain's highly competitive and functional blockchain architecture may now build on Google Cloud's open, scalable, developer-friendly, secure, and long-lasting cloud infrastructure.
Furthermore, these BNB Chain projects can use Google Cloud services for on-demand analysis of on-chain data as well as real-time data encryption.
“At BNB Chain, we have been focusing on identifying and supporting innovative Web3 builders, and now by collaborating with Google Cloud, we can help these builders access the open, secure, and carbon neutral cloud infrastructure that’s needed to strengthen and scale their businesses,” said Gwendolyn Regina, Investment Director, BNB Chain.
As part of this agreement, BNB Chain will provide qualifying Web3 builders in its ecosystem, including those in the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator program, with accelerated access to the Google for Startups Cloud Program.
Partnership of the Cloud Programm Credits for up to two years
The Google for Firms Cloud Program gives qualifying early-stage startups Google Cloud credits every year for up to two years, assisting them in establishing and growing their businesses.
Web3 builders who participate in the program will also be able to: connect with Google Cloud Startup Success team members and Google's technical subject matter experts in data management, data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), zero trust security, and more; participate in Web3 developer workshops; gain access to Google Cloud Skills Boost training and certification; and join Google Cloud's global customer community group.
The MVB accelerator program, organized by BNB Chain and Binance Labs, recognizes developers and entrepreneurs in need of the necessary foundation to continue building and scaling cutting-edge Web3 products and dApps for customers.
It gives money, coaching, and community-driven support to these projects.
“We look forward to collaborating with BNB Chain to provide Web3 builders with the cleanest cloud infrastructure on which to develop and scale their applications. This builds on our existing work to support our customers’ needs in developing, transacting, storing value, and deploying new products on blockchain-based platforms,” said James Tromans, Director of Web3, Google Cloud.
