Google Cloud, the cloud division of tech giant Google, has become a validator and infrastructure provider for the Flare blockchain. Flare's Oracle system provides developers with access to decentralized data, allowing smart contracts to be executed based on inputs and outputs from the outside world. Google Cloud is one of 100 organizations adopting this role to the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO) on the network. This partnership is a significant step for Flare and highlights the ongoing adoption of blockchain technology by tech giants like Google.
