Mo Shaikh, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aptos, and Simon Baksys, head of business development and go-to-market for Google's web3 group, spoke out on a discussion at Token2049 in London and provided specifics on the partnership.
Shaikh said that this was the first time a web2 and a web3 firm had collaborated in such an important way. He further stated that Google Cloud would verify nodes and engage in the Aptos mainnet. Additionally, Google Cloud's BigQuery service will analyze and make the Aptos blockchain accessible.
With the introduction of an accelerator program and a hackathon together next year, Google and the Aptos Foundation intend to support emerging talent. Solana programmers who were fed up with "eating glass" on Solana and searching for a more user-friendly manner to create decentralized applications were drawn to the Aptos blockchain.
According to Baksys, the interaction between the two worlds and the projects interested in leveraging both Google and Aptos technologies to create something spectacular should be intriguing. He further stated that the partnership would undoubtedly carry on the collective globe tour and interact with the people.
