“As part of a long-running partnership, Google Cloud will act as a network operator, offering its infrastructure to help scale Flow,” Forbes writes.
The Flow blockchain hosts dozens of applications, including CryptoKitties and NBA Top Shot.
With Google’s backing, Dapper Labs hopes to scale popular NFT projects to billions of users.
