Google is establishing a Web3 team within its cloud unit, noting that “it is a market that is already demonstrating tremendous potential.” A Google executive explained: “We’re providing technologies for companies to use and take advantage of the distributed nature of Web3 in their current businesses and enterprises.”
Google creates Web3 team within Cloud Unit
Google’s cloud unit is creating a team to build services for developers who are composing their own Web3 software and running blockchain applications, CNBC reported Friday.
Amit Zavery is a Google Cloud vice president, and the head of its Google Cloud initiative. He informed his employees via email Friday that the goal of this initiative was to make Google Cloud Platform the top choice for field developers. He stated:
Web3 is still in the early stages of adoption, but it’s a promising market with many customers asking for support.
According to the VP, employees will be able to join Web3’s new team from both their work and personal experience. James Tromans is a former Citigroup executive and joined Google in 2019. He will head the product-engineering group. Zavery will be his reporting point.
According to the Google Cloud Vice President, this was what the news outlet heard:
We’re not trying to be part of that cryptocurrency wave directly … We’re providing technologies for companies to use and take advantage of the distributed nature of Web3 in their current businesses and enterprises.
Google Cloud launched a new dedicated Digital Assets Team in January to support customers’ needs in “building, transacting, storing value, and deploying new products on blockchain-based platforms,” the group explained at the time.
The CEO of Google and its parent company, Alphabet Inc., Sundar Pichai, said in February that blockchain is “such an interesting and powerful technology with broad applications,” emphasizing: “As a company, we are looking at how we might contribute to the ecosystem and add value.”
