Google joins the Hedera Hashgraaf Governance Board

Hedera Hachgraph has chosen Google Cloud as its preferred cloud service provider to deploy its public networks. A post on February 11 on Google blogs praises Haidera for choice, while revealing his active involvement in project management.

Hedera has been designated to use Google Cloud to host public testing networks and the ecosystem for the Hedera compatibility service. This allows Hedera developers to take advantage of Google's geographic coverage and infrastructure.

Hedera is a technology project for distributed logbooks rooted in the enterprise world. It uses a hashgrave-based consensus algorithm to allow multiple branches of blocks, rather than one chain. The project is said to provide a performance of ten thousand transactions per second.

It is governed by the Hedera Board of Directors, which is a body composed of many well-known companies such as Boeing, IBM, Deutsche Telekom, and others. The function of the Council is to lead the decision-making process of the network and to ensure its continued reliability.

                    Google joined Hedera

Hedera has used Google Cloud since its network was created, and has chosen to run the logbook with premium product offerings from the Google Cloud platform. Now that Google has approved Hedera using its publicly available program, Google has also announced that it has become a member of the Hedera Council.

As part of its commitment, Google Cloud will run the Hedera network node. It will also provide access to record book data on its public cloud data sets, which include blocking information from blockchain chains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

      Google Cloud is no stranger to blockchain

Google Cloud has been actively involved in the field of blockchain. In June 2019, it merged Oracle SQL Link broker on its platform, allowing its developers to interact with Ethereum's smart contracts. Although it was a strict technical implementation, some interpreted it as a partnership.

With Hedera, Google Cloud is playing an active role in project governance, after it has followed other major companies.

The Token Hedera, HBAR, has risen as a result of the announcement. As of the time of writing, the article is trading at $ 0.0321 - an increase of 74 percent over the previous day's price level, according to Cowen 360.
