Google Cloud has joined forces with ZetaChain to support its Universal Blockchain.
The partnership, announced in a ZetaChain post, aims to drive broader adoption of Web3 technology and facilitate the development of apps that can work across multiple blockchains.
Google Cloud will become a validator for ZetaChain (ZETA) and help secure and scale the blockchain ecosystem.
ZetaChain’s Universal Blockchain allows developers to create “Universal Apps”: decentralized applications that can function on any blockchain network, such as Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH).
This approach differs from most blockchains, which are often siled and unable to share data or assets with other networks.
ZetaChain’s model aims to increase accessibility and connectivity in the blockchain world, similar to how the Internet allows seamless access to different websites and platforms.
As a validator, Google Cloud will use its infrastructure to secure transactions on ZetaChain’s blockchain. This role is essential in maintaining the integrity of the blockchain by verifying and recording data, ensuring a reliable ledger for all participants.

ZetaChain also commits to delegate 1 million of its native tokens to five validators on Google Cloud infrastructure. This delegation strengthens the network by funding and encouraging validator activities, which are critical to maintaining security and functionality.
Developers building on ZetaChain now have access to Google Cloud’s Web3 Startups Program, which offers cloud credits that can help offset infrastructure costs.
Additionally, Google Cloud will integrate ZetaChain’s testnet tap, giving developers quick access to test tokens, streamlining app testing and development.
Google Cloud also supported the BNB Chain ecosystem by investing $10 million in its Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator program. This investment is intended to drive decentralized application development across the BNB chain through Google Cloud’s Web3 Startups program.
