Today, developments continue to occur one after another. In recent hours, it was announced that Solana Labs has partnered with Google Cloud and that the blockchain game development platform GameShift has been included in Google Cloud’s ecosystem. This development aims to mainstream blockchain technology in games.
Purpose of GameShift
GameShift, aims to provide seamless user engagement on the Solana network for game developers, in addition to offering the creation of in-game digital assets, branded in-game NFT markets, credit card payments, and more, while also eliminating the existing complexity of blockchain.
Following the Google Cloud integration, Solana developers will be able to use GameShift more comfortably to spread blockchain games, benefiting from the infrastructure of the tech giant’s cloud.
A representative for Google Cloud also confirmed that Solana GameShift is now part of Google Cloud’s partner network.
Google Cloud Games Director Jack Buser stated:
Many game developers on Google Cloud appear to want to lead in the Web3 space and benefit from the endless potential of this technology. However, natural technical complexities are currently a major barrier to broader adoption.
How Much is Solana Now?
When the calendars showed the beginning of 2023, the price of Solana had dropped to $8, and all investors were discussing whether SOL might be finished. The FTX incidents in November 2022 were the biggest trigger for this.
Later, by the end of 2023, SOL was among the top-performing high-volume altcoins of the year.
By 2024, SOL fully attracted attention and moved back above $200. Although it later pulled back, it continues to maintain a strong appearance.
Following the news, the price of SOL was trading at $138.5 at the time of writing, which represents an increase of over 12% in the last 24 hours.
In addition, SOL’s market cap has once again surpassed the $60 billion mark and risen to $62 billion. SOL’s 24-hour trading volume has also exceeded $4 billion again.
