Internet giant Google has expanded its big data analytics with the inclusion of tools to explore the Ethereum blockchain.<\/p>\n
Just a few months after releasing Bitcoin support for its BigQuery database tool, Google has announced a new plugin for analyzing the Ethereum platform. In a blog post<\/a> last week the tech giant stated;<\/p>\n \u201cEthereum and other cryptocurrencies have captured the imagination of technologists, financiers, and economists. Digital currencies are only one application of the underlying blockchain technology. Earlier this year, we made the Bitcoin dataset publicly available for analysis in Google BigQuery. Today we\u2019re making the Ethereum dataset available.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The post elaborates to explain the primary differences between the Ethereum blockchain and Bitcoin\u2019s. These include a token based smart contract principle, precise and direct Ether value transfer resembling accounting ledger debits and credits, and the virtual machine that can execute arbitrary code. It added that Ethereum blockchain data was now available for viewing with BigQuery, Google\u2019s web service that enables interactive analysis of massively large data-sets working in conjunction with Google Storage.<\/p>\n
