BigQuery is Google's data storage service. Companies can use it to store their data and make queries on it. It also provides some public data sets that can be queried, including Google Trends, American Community Service demographic information, Google Analytics, and others.
In 2018, Google launched a Bitcoin dataset as part of the service and, that same year, added Ethereum too. It continued to expand its blockchain coverage in February 2019, adding Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Zcash. The September 21 announcement means that BigQuery now carries data from a total of 19 blockchain networks.
In addition to adding these new blockchains, Google has also implemented a new feature aimed at making it easier to execute blockchain queries. Through a series of user-defined functions (UDFs), the team has provided methods for handling the long-form decimal results often found in blockchains. In its post, Google stated that these new features will "give customers access to longer decimal digits for their blockchain data and reduce rounding errors in the calculation."
Google Cloud has become increasingly interested in blockchain technology in 2023. On July 7, associated with voltage, a Lightning Network infrastructure provider. and so? partnered with Web3 startup Orderly Network on September 14 to help provide off-chain components for decentralized finance.
