Google Cloud taps SQD for blockchain data analytics in BigQuery

SQD has partnered with Google Cloud to contribute blockchain datasets to Google Cloud Web3 Blockchain Analytics, allowing users to access SQD-validated onchain data through BigQuery, according to a Tuesday announcement. SQD Network provides decentralized infrastructure for querying the growing volume of data generated by blockchains and web3 applications. Its network of data providers, workers, and gateways distributes datasets across nodes, with SQD tokens used to secure operators, reward data providers, and manage access to network resources. The integration is led by SQD 360, Subsquid’s enterprise business, which handles blockchain indexing and data pipelines. According to SQD, each block undergoes six cryptographic checks to verify the accuracy and integrity of the data before it reaches Google Cloud’s analytics platform. The companies plan to expand the service with support for more chains and agentic features. SQD said the collaboration could help establish validated, openly accessible blockchain data as infrastructure for enterprise analytics and web3 applications.
