Etherlink builders now have access to up to $200,000 in Google Cloud credits and dedicated Web3 engineering support.
This partnership builds on the collaboration between Tezos and Google Cloud, expanding real-world blockchain infrastructure and developer resources.
Etherlink has joined the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program. Through this partnership, Etherlink’s developer ecosystem will enjoy enhanced infrastructure, mentorship, and go-to-market support.
Etherlink is a non-custodial, EVM-compatible layer 2 blockchain built on Tezos Smart Rollups that provides decentralized governance, fraud prevention, and censorship resistance. The Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program is an initiative to support early-stage blockchain and Web3 projects. It does this by providing cloud credits, technical guidance, infrastructure tools, and go-to-market support to help developers build and scale distributed applications using Google Cloud services.
Through this partnership, all builders in the Etherlink ecosystem will have access to up to $200,000 in Google Cloud credits and exclusive developer resources. These are eligible for the scale tier of the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program.
This partnership is a major step in Etherlink’s continued growth as it continues to attract builders seeking scalability, reliability, and deep ecosystem support.
How this program makes building on Etherlink faster and more scalable
Etherlink is working to help developers build decentralized applications (dApps) and infrastructure on EVM-compatible Layer 2 networks powered by Tezos Smart Rollups.
Builders who receive Tezos Foundation grants through this program can apply directly through the Google Cloud Web3 Startup Program portal. This gives companies access to enterprise-grade infrastructure, engineering resources, and go-to-market opportunities.
Participants will also receive exclusive access to the Google Cloud Web3 community. This includes a private Discord with Google Cloud product and engineering teams, as well as VIP passes to key industry events such as Paris Blockchain Week, Consensus, and TOKEN2049 Singapore. said Rich Widmann, Head of Web3 Strategy at Google Cloud.
“Real momentum is created when developers have the tools and resources to build. When you remove friction, innovation follows.”
This collaboration builds on previous work between the Tezos Foundation and Google Cloud, including deploying secure blockchain archives across six continents using the cloud provider’s global infrastructure.
According to Yann Regis-Gianas, head of engineering at Nomadic Labs, the program offers distinct advantages for Etherlink developers.
“$200,000 in Google Cloud credits means Etherlink builders can really experiment and build without worrying about infrastructure costs eating into their runway.”
This partnership opens the door to Google Cloud’s network of investors and venture capital, as well as exclusive learning sessions and webinars designed to accelerate startup growth.
Thanks to integrations with Lombard Finance, Midas, and Oku, Etherlink’s Total Value Locked (TVL) has already exceeded $70 million in October.
This collaboration lowers barriers for Web3 developers and facilitates decentralized innovation.
