Axie Infinity COO: Google Cloud Becomes 18th Validator of Ronin Network



Axie Infinity COO Aleksander Larsen made the announcement during the second day of the massive community event AxieCon in Barcelona.
The COO of popular PlayAndEarn blockchain game Axie Infinity announced a new Ronin validator during the second day of panel discussions at AxieCon.
Aleksander Larsen, more popularly known as Psycheout, ended his talk about the roadmap of the Ronin Network by announcing Google Cloud as its 18th Validator. Google joins Sky Mavis, AxieChat, AnimocaBrands, Nansen, YGG, and other prominent parties in the ecosystem as validators of the Ethereum-linked sidechain built especially for Axie Infintiy.

“I have an announcement today that we’re going to be joined by an 18th validator,” Psychout ended his talk saying. “Google is joining the Ronin network as a validator. This has been in the works for about 18 months. They’ve been helping us with the infrastructure of the game and have the same beliefs with regards to open sourcing.”
Trung Nguyen, Co-Founder of Axie Infinity, said that “Google Cloud and Searce supported them in every stage of the game’s development, from the time it was part of the Google for Startups Cloud Program till today.”
Sky Mavis’ workspace was built on Google Cloud and it made perfect sense for the tech giant to join the community as a validator.
“Sky Mavis is a strong example of how the cloud can enable blockchain technologies to yield innovation and value creation for individuals,” said Ruma Balasubramanian, Managing Director, Southeast Asia, Google Cloud. “We look forward to working with Sky Mavis to accelerate its product roadmap and grow the Ronin network with secure infrastructure as its core. We’re also excited about the possibilities that could emerge from this latest collaboration – be it entertaining experiences for users or new business models in games distribution.”
What Is Axie Infinity:
Axie Infinity is a play-to-earn battling game that shares some similarities with Pokemon and Tamagotchi. Players collect, breed, raise, battle, and trade token-based non-fungible token (NFT) creatures known in the game as Axies.
Each Axie has its own strengths and weaknesses and is customizable with around 500 different traits. Players can evolve and upgrade their Axies which can then be used or sold on the Axie Infinity marketplace.

Swift and Chainlink Trials Pave the Way for the $10 Trillion Crypto Market

With the goal of expanding the crypto market from $1 trillion to $10 trillion, this partnership aims to seamlessly connect financial institutions' systems with various blockchain networks using Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP).
Chainlink and Swift Envision Blockchain Interoperability for Financial Institutions
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has partnered with Chainlink to explore the integration of blockchain networks into the financial industry. The collaboration aims to leverage Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to connect financial institutions' systems with various blockchain networks seamlessly.
We’re collaborating with our community to test how institutions can use their #Swift connection to seamlessly interoperate with the many #blockchain networks emerging around the world.

Several major financial institutions, including ANZ, BNP Paribas, Citi, and Lloyds Banking Group, will participate in trials to test the transfer of tokenized value over public and private blockchain networks.
During the trials, SWIFT's infrastructure will demonstrate how it facilitates interoperability by allowing tokenized assets to be transferred within public blockchain wallets, between public and permissioned blockchains, and from Ethereum to other public blockchains. Chainlink will act as an enterprise abstraction layer, connecting the SWIFT network to the Ethereum Sepolia network, while Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol ensures interoperability between source and destination blockchains.
“Having a single interface for accessing the various blockchains that banks will have to transact on is both more secure and more efficient for their interaction with this new way of transacting among themselves and their clients. The connectivity between banks and blockchains created by CCIP can also enable the growth of DeFi, as banks will find it increasingly easy to interact with public blockchains and move value to and from them using their existing systems,” Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink, told BSC News.
Connecting Banks and Blockchains
By successfully integrating major banks and clearing and settlement systems into web3, the collaboration aims to expand the crypto market from its current valuation of $1 trillion to $10 trillion.
“If even a small portion of the quadrillions of dollars in value flowing through the Swift network and its over 11,000 member banks makes its way onto blockchains, the entire blockchain industry could grow multiple times larger very quickly,” stated Nazarov.
As part of this collaboration, Swift and Chainlink will build upon previous SWIFT trials that were conducted in 2022, focusing on incorporating digital currencies and tokenized assets into the traditional financial ecosystem. The new experiments will address technical, operational, and regulatory challenges associated with operating in a blockchain environment., such as confidentiality and privacy of data, liability, and recourse when transacting with public blockchains.
SWIFT aims to establish an interoperable system that connects different blockchain networks, enabling financial institutions to seamlessly interact with multiple blockchain-based networks similar to traditional asset trading. The partnership recognizes the impracticality of building new infrastructure from scratch and instead seeks to help institutions leverage their existing infrastructure securely and compliantly.
