Google Introduces Cloud-Based Blockchain Node Service for Ethereum

Google introduces cloud-based blockchain node service for Ethereum. The company said its Google Cloud Blockchain Node Engine would be a “fully managed node-hosting service that can minimize the need for node operations,” meaning that Google would be responsible for monitoring node activity and restarting them during outages. A node is a type of computer that runs a blockchain’s software to validate and store the history of transactions on a blockchain’s network. At the time of launch, Google will only be supporting Ethereum nodes.
