A validator on the Polygon network is currently Google Cloud.

According to a report by Polygon, they have harnessed the same robust infrastructure that powers YouTube and Gmail to fortify their network security.

On September 29, Polygon Labs made a significant announcement – Google Cloud has officially joined the Polygon proof-of-stake network as a validator.

Google Cloud is now part of an elite group of over 100 validators, all engaged in verifying transactions within its layer-2 Ethereum network.

Polygon Labs made the partnership official through a post on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter), stating:

“The formidable infrastructure that underpins @YouTube and @gmail is now instrumental in enhancing the security and efficiency of the Ethereum-for-all Polygon protocol.”

Validators within the Polygon network play a pivotal role in safeguarding its integrity. They achieve this by operating nodes, staking MATIC, and actively participating in proof-of-stake consensus mechanisms.

The Google Cloud Singapore division confirmed via X that it is actively serving as a validator on the Polygon PoS network. They emphasized their commitment to contributing to the network’s overall security, governance, and decentralization, standing shoulder to shoulder with over 100 other esteemed validators.

While many of Polygon’s validators prefer to remain anonymous, Google Cloud proudly joins the ranks alongside Germany’s Deutsche Telekom, one of Europe’s telecommunications giants, within this expansive network.

Google Cloud describes its affiliation with Polygon Labs as an “ongoing strategic collaboration.” In conjunction with its validator role, Google Cloud Asia Pacific released an enlightening YouTube video titled “Polygon Labs: Pioneering a Web3 Future for All.”

Polygon Labs recently unveiled its ambitious “Polygon 2.0” initiative, aimed at revitalizing the Polygon network. As reported by Cointelegraph, “Phase 0,” the current stage, introduces three Polygon Improvement Proposals, known as PIPs 17-19.

PIP 17 entails a transition from MATIC to the new POL token, while PIPs 18 and 19 focus on pivotal aspects such as the technical intricacies of POL and the enhancement of gas tokens. According to Polygon’s roadmap, these transformative changes are set to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023.

DeFi CEO Says ‘No One Cares’ to Deutsche Bank Entry into BTC Custody

Deutsche Bank to offer bitcoin custody solution for institutional clients. Cake Group CEO believes the move will not substantially increase capital inflow or attract new participants. Deutsche Bank’s Paul Maley projects the digital asset sector to grow to trillions of dollars. Julian Hosp, the CEO of DeFi business Cake Group, has shared a skeptical reaction to Deutsche Bank’s newly-launched bitcoin custody services for institutional clients. Responding to a post on X (Twitter) by Bitcoin Magazine announcing the bank’s new services, Hosp wrote “Sadly, no one cares”. In full, his response read, And guess what… sadly no one cares… because everyone in Germany can already buy #bitcoin either with an ETF (that has literally ZERO volume) or on an exchange. All these banks entering the space, are not bringing in extra money or people. They are just re-routing existing… https://t.co/MMZHSbGB9U — Dr. Julian Hosp (@julianhosp) September 15, 2023 T...

MATIC Price Plunges, Have the Bulls Finally Lost Control?

Image
MATIC witnessed a decline in bullish momentum and has lost hold of the $0.74 psychological support. Buying pressure was weak as the CMF hovered around the zero line. Traders might likely short/sell MATIC in the near term since the 50 EMA crossed over the 20 EMA. Polygon (MATIC) brief dip below $0.78 has turned out to be an event that has lasted a whopping five days. Over the last 24 hours, the altcoin had lost 2.32% of its value. But its last 30 days’ performance was controlled by the bulls where MATIC increased by 6.61%. Currently, the MATIC/USD 4-Hour chart shows that the altcoin was hovering around a tight support zone at $0.71. Due to decreased demand, MATIC’s buying strength has been cut off. This indicates bearish dominance around $0.72. For MATIC to regain bullish momentum, the price must rise above the $0.74 psychological level. But if selling pressure outweighs demand, then the recovery attempt could be quenched. Furthermore, bears have ...

PEPE has more multiples to reach its previous all-time high (ATH) compared to DOGE. PEPE will outperform DOGE in the next bull cycle, predicts Miles Deutscher, a renowned cryptocurrency analyst. In a Twitter post, Deutscher highlighted the reasons behind his prediction. I think $PEPE outperforms $DOGE next cycle. Why? • The Underwater Thesis: Less PEPE holders underwater vs DOGE, meaning less sell pressure on the way up + lower multiples to reach previous ATH (2.8x vs 12x). • People are more fatigued with the DOGE meme, Pepe feels fresher… — Miles Deutscher (@milesdeutscher) June 23, 2023 Deutscher’s first reason for supporting PEPE to outperform DOGE in the next cycle is what he called “The Underwater Thesis.” He noted fewer PEPE holders are “underwater” compared to DOGE holders. By that, he me...
