According to a blog post made on September 21, 2023, Google Cloud’s BigQuery service recently added 11 blockchain networks to its data warehouse. The new network is expected to include Avalanche, Arbitrum, Cronos, Ethereum’s Görli testnet, Fantom, Near, Optimism, Polkadot, Polygon’s mainnet, Polygon’s Mumbai testnet and Tron, among others, stated Cointelegraph.
Sources revealed that BigQuery is Google’s data warehouse service. It is believed that enterprise firms might use it to store their data and make queries about it. It also expected to provide some public data sets that can be queried, including Google Trends, American Community Service demographic information and Google Analytics, among others, Cointelegraph added.
Apart from adding a new set of blockchains, Google is also expected to have included a new feature intended to make blockchain queries easier to execute. Through a series of user-defined functions, the team provided methods to handle the long-form decimal results, Cointelegraph explained.
Furthermore, in a post, Google mentioned that these new functions will “give customers access to longer decimal digits for their blockchain data and reduce rounding errors in computation,” Cointelegraph concluded.
