Tech Google's New Blockchain Search Tools, Broken Down

[AdultKing]

Very interesting move by Google.

Google is now in the blockchain search business. Less than a day after Forbes broke the story that the internet search giant would be launching a suite of tools built by, and for, open source developers, those tools are live.

In addition to loading datasets for all the transactions and metadata in eight cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin and ethereum, Google Cloud developer advocate Allen Day and his team of open source developers from around the world are launching a number of tools designed to do to blockchain, what Google search did to the internet.

“I'm very interested to quantify what's happening so that we can see where the real legitimate use cases are for blockchain,” said Day, who manages the cloud portion of the project. "So people can acknowledge that and then we can move to the next use case and develop out what these technologies are really appropriate for.”
