Google’s cloud computing services division will also bring its Blockchain Node Engine to Solana beginning in 2023.
The SOL native token for Solana surged about 15% after Google Cloud tagged the blockchain’s co-founder in a tweet that suggested an important disclosure was in the offing.
Hey @aeyakovenko 👋
Should we tell our followers the big news?

While such a vague yet market-moving disclosure might not technically run afoul of financial regulations, it does raise the question of whether it’s OK to pump up the price of an asset with security-like qualities in this manner.
Solana, which has so far not lived up to the hype that it’s an industrial-grade blockchain well-suited for modern finance, is undergoing an infrastructure overhaul overseen by Jump Crypto.
Google made 4 big announcements!! Google will:
- Run a Solana Validator Node
- Help users run an Ethereum or Solana Node using Blockchain Node Engine
- Add Solana to Big Query to make it easier for the Solana developer ecosystem to access historical data.
- Accept crypto payments via Coinbase Commerce
