Besides becoming a validator, Google Cloud is also working to implement its Blockchain Node Engine (BNE) in the Solana ecosystem. Blockchain Node Engine is Google’s node-hosting service, which reduces the need for complex node operations.
BNE was previously utilized only for the Ethereum blockchain and it’s expanding network of developers. Adding Solana to the mix will reduce the time required for running a node on Solana and making it accessible to more users.
