Google has rolled out a free analytics tool that enables users to explore Ethereum blockchain. The move shows search giant's interest in blockchain and its inevitable collision with other blockchain service providers Amazon and Microsoft.
BigQuery lets users analyze massive datasets on the Ethereum blockchain by enabling SQL queries. Because such queries leverage Google's massive infrastructure, they can be completed extremely fast. The free tool lets users access analytics and visualizations of aggregate data, leading to the discovery of valuable information about the Ethereum network such as average transaction costs, transaction times, network usage and smart contract analytics, to name a few.
