Google Cloud joins Injective as validator, expands Web3 tools

Google Cloud has officially become a validator for Injective, an interoperable layer-1 blockchain, further strengthening the network’s security and decentralization. 

The move aligns Google Cloud supporting Injective’s (INJ) ecosystem, according to a company release.

Beyond validation, Google Cloud is integrating its Web3 infrastructure with Injective. Developers can now access Injective’s blockchain data through Google Cloud’s BigQuery public datasets, enabling real-time insights for DeFi applications and institutional trading strategies. 

Injective’s developer suite is also hosted on Google Cloud, offering tools like testnet faucets and indexed data for dapp development.

Injective and Google Cloud are also co-hosting an AI Agent Hackathon with ElizaOS and DoraHacks, encouraging developers to create AI-powered financial applications using Injective’s iAgent framework.

Google Cloud has previously joined networks like Celo (CELO), Solana (SOL), and Polygon (POL) as a validator. Its Web3 services continue to bridge traditional enterprise infrastructure with blockchain innovation, driving adoption across decentralized ecosystems.
