BigQuery is Google’s data warehouse service. Enterprise firms can use it to store their data and run queries against it. The platform also provides access to several public datasets that can be queried, including Google Trends, American Community Service demographic information, Google Analytics, and others.

In 2018, Google launched a Bitcoin dataset as part of the service, and later that year added Ethereum. It continued to expand its blockchain coverage in February 2019 by adding Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin, and Zcash. With the September 21 announcement, BigQuery now carries data from a total of 19 blockchain networks.
In addition to adding these new blockchains, Google has implemented a new feature designed to make blockchain queries easier to execute. Through a series of user-defined functions, the team has provided methods to handle the long-form decimal results often found on blockchains. In its post, Google claimed that these new functions will “give customers access to longer decimal digits for their blockchain data and reduce rounding errors in computation.”
Google Cloud has shown increasing interest in blockchain technology in 2023. On July 7, it partnered with Voltage, a Lightning Network infrastructure provider. It also partnered with Web3 startup Orderly Network on September 14 to help provide off-chain components for decentralized finance.
