The Wormhole Foundation, the team behind the Wormhole platform, has announced an exclusive partnership. According to Wormhole, it is partnering with Google Cloud to improve the scalability and security of the Guardian Network. Wormhole’s Guardian Network is a set of validators that secure and verify cross-chain transactions on the Wormhole protocol. The platform revealed the development on its official X social media account.
In a recent post, Wormhole noted that the integration marks a significant upgrade to its defense-in-depth security plan. In addition to this, it is also expanding its zero-knowledge research efforts. This ensures more consistent reliability and security across the Wormhole multi-chain ecosystem.
The Guardian Network significantly contributes to the reliability and security of the Wormhole platform by facilitating cross-chain asset transactions and communication. The integration of Google Cloud into the Guardian Network provides redundancy through its powerful computing infrastructure. Moreover, it also reduces downtime by instantly connecting to validator nodes that fail.
