In Web3, applications (dApps) are decentralized, and smart contracts enable trustless interactions without intermediaries, promoting transparency and security.
What’s the News?
According to reports, with the Web3 portal, users can obtain testnet tokens to deploy and test their decentralized applications on Ethereum testnets Sepolia and Holesky.
It also includes tutorials on developing NFTs, implementing Web3 loyalty programs, and securing digital assets with multi-party computation, along with a learning program.
This comes after several recent developments by Google in the Web3 industry. However, the launch of Google Cloud’s Web3 portal has received a mixed response from the crypto industry.
According to Coin Gabbar, some stalwarts of the crypto industry have called Google’s move a disregard for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency.
Unchained’s Vice President of Product Marketing, Phil Geiger, said in a post on X that Google is making a big mistake by overlooking a significant cryptocurrency like Bitcoin.
Meanwhile, Mitroplus Labs founder Ivaibi Festo welcomed Google Cloud’s move and described the Web3 portal as a “comprehensive resource.”

Tech giant Google is continuously increasing its presence in the Web3 industry. The launch of the Web3 portal follows several recent developments by Google in the Web3 industry.
Notably, Google recently expanded its features to allow users to search wallet balances across various blockchains like Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Optimism, Polygon, and Fantom.
Earlier in 2024, Google also changed its policies to allow advertisements for some crypto products, including Bitcoin ETFs, on major search engines.
