According to Forbes, Google Cloud will act as a network operator for Dapper Labs' Flow blockchain, which provides scalable infrastructure for a complete ecosystem of NFTs\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, games, and apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The multi-year relationship, according to Janet Kennedy, vice president of Google Cloud North America, would let Dapper expand its operations using Google's “scalable, secure infrastructure.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google has also made it easier for Flow developers to integrate their software with Google Cloud, giving them another reason to choose Google Cloud over competitors like Amazon Web Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roham Gharegozlou, CEO of Dapper Labs, revealed the partnership on Tuesday morning by welcoming Google to the Flow blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n

Some of the most popular NFT collections on the market, such as NBA Top Shot and CryptoKitties, are supported by Dapper's Flow blockchain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA Top Shot had made $230 million in sales by February of the current year. According to Forbes, that figure has nearly tripled to $680 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NBA icons Michael Jordan and Kevin Durant joined other investors in backing Dapper's $305 million fundraising round earlier this year, seeing the long-term potential of NFTs<\/a>. The corporation was valued at $2.6 billion at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NFTs have risen from a small and obscure area of the crypto business to a multibillion-dollar market in less than a year. According to industry figures, August was a record-breaking month for the NFT market, with 30-day sales exceeding $2 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the business side, a number of NFT-focused startups have raised large amounts of money this year. Recur, an NFT business, just concluded a $50 million Series A backed by billionaire Steve Cohen's family office, raising its total valuation to $333 million, according to Cointelegraph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
