 <p>Tech giant Google Cloud is now participating as a validator node operator on the Polygon proof-of-stake blockchain network. Polygon and Google both announced this week that Google Cloud has joined the decentralized set of over 100 validators helping secure the Ethereum scaling platform.</p> 
 <p>In a tweet, Polygon said that the network is now using the same infrastructure that powers Google services. These include the likes of Gmail and YouTube to validate transactions on its network. Polygon highlighted the tech firm’s reputation for security and reliability as an asset for providing an added layer of protection for users.</p>
