It also contributes to the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) system, with which Flare gives developers access to decentralized data through a blockchain oracle. Without a doubt, an important step that will allow Google Cloud to make it easier for developers and companies to use the Flare Network to build their decentralized applications.
The partnership with Flare is part of Google's global strategy to position its Cloud as a valuable space for developing and building blockchain applications. Especially, making it easier for developers to build the infrastructure necessary for its operation without having to leave Google Cloud and its provided services.
Google is the third largest cloud service provider in the world. The company controls 7% of the global market. An achievement, taking into account that its main competition is giants such as Amazon (32% of the market) and Microsoft (19%). Hence, the importance of Google Cloud establishing strategic partnerships with a wide variety of blockchain networks and services in order to provide its users with access to these tools.
With the arrival of Flare Network to Google Cloud, Google seems to have understood that the development of blockchain applications and the need for infrastructure to support their operation is increasing
Currently, Google is able to provide infrastructure for applications that require blockchains such as Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Hedera, Fantom, Harmony, Theta Network, Avalanche, Near, Optimism, Polkadot and Tron. The last in the collection is Flare Network.
