The price increase for Flare’s blockchain platform (FLR) was announced today, with the addition of cloud computing giant Google Cloud as a network infrastructure provider. Google Cloud is now among the 100 providers for the Flare Network.
According to an announcement made on Monday, Google Cloud will not only contribute to the network, but also act as a validator for Flare’s native interoperability protocol, the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO). This integration will see Google Cloud validating and proposing new blocks for the Flare blockchain, further securing the proof of stake platform’s network.
Hugo Philion, CEO and co-founder of Flare, stated:
“As the blockchain for data, we are excited that Google Cloud is joining our existing decentralized network of infrastructure providers who contribute to Flare. Our work together will help deliver a more robust decentralized smart contract platform that places decentralized data at its core.”
As part of this collaboration, Flare has also joined Google’s Startups Cloud Program, an initiative aimed at accelerating growth in the Web3 startup ecosystem. The program offers financial and technical assistance to developers building on Flare.
At the time of writing, FLR was trading at $0.0021, representing a 24% increase in the past 24 hours.
