The Google Cloud division, within its BigQuery data analytics service, has incorporated backing for 11 additional blockchains. These blockchains encompass Avalanche, Arbitrum, Cronos, Fantom, Near, Optimism, Polkadot, Polygon, Tron, as well as the test networks Polygon Mumbai and Ethereum Goerli. Users now have the capability to perform detailed queries on the blockchain, like evaluating the quantity of minted NFTs or comparing transaction fees, among these blockchain networks. Integration with end-user applications such as Looker and Google Sheets is also accessible. BigQuery, a Google Cloud-managed data warehouse service, empowers users to execute SQL-like queries on extensive datasets. In 2018, Google Cloud initiated its blockchain data services in BigQuery, aiming to provide developers with access to on-chain data from Bitcoin and Ethereum. The subsequent year, it augmented support for an additional 6 chains: Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Zcash. Following the recent inclusion of 11 more chains, the cumulative tally of supported networks reaches 19. Aside from BigQuery, Google Cloud delivers Web3 infrastructure services, including node hosting and the management of validator operations, for various blockchains on its platform, most notably Ethereum, Solana, and Aptos.
