Google Cloud has also joined Digital Asset's developer program private beta, letting Google Cloud developers access the Digital Asset Modeling Language (DAML) software development kit (SDK).
Digital Asset further plans to grow its DAML platform-as-a-service (PaaS) program through the collaboration, by providing a "fully-managed solution" to aid developers trying to test or launch blockchain applications. The service will be available to developers through Google Cloud's application marketplace.
Digital Asset chief executive Blythe Masters said in a statement that the collaboration will make it easier for developers exploring the technology:
"We're partnering with Google Cloud to provide developers with a full stack solution so they can unleash the potential for web-paced innovation in blockchain. This will reduce the technical barriers to DLT application development by delivering our advanced distributed ledger platform and modelling language to Google Cloud."
Similarly, Google Cloud Financial Services Platform head Leonard Law said the technology giant was "delighted to innovate" alongside Digital Asset.
"DLT has great potential to benefit customers not just in the financial services industry, but across many industries, and we're excited to bring these developer tools to Google Cloud," he added.

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
