What’s new? Blockchain developer Solana is partnering with Google to integrate its GameShift game development platform into the Google Cloud ecosystem. The initiative, aimed at encouraging the mass adoption of blockchain technology in gamification, will allow developers at Solana to use GameShift to deploy their blockchain games using the tech giant’s cloud infrastructure.
What else is known? GameShift simplifies blockchain game creation by providing developers with an easy-to-use API interface to seamlessly connect users to Solana, as well as tools to launch marketplaces for trading in-game non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and connecting fiat payments.
Jack Buser, Google Cloud’s director of games, noted that many game studios using the cloud service’s tools would also like to start working with Web 3.0 technology, but the inherent technical complexities of the technology have hindered widespread adoption. The integration aims to address these.
Google and Solana have been collaborating since 2022, at which time Google Cloud joined the blockchain as a validator and also added Solana to its service, which allows users to run their own nodes.
In 2023, Solana developers integrated Google Cloud’s BigQuery cloud storage and Google Cloud’s high-performance BigTable database to simplify data transfer.
