EMURGO, a pioneering force in Web3 integration on the Cardano blockchain, has entered into a strategic partnership with Huawei Cloud. The aim is to enhance the Cardano network by deploying a Cardano Validator Node on Huawei Cloud's robust infrastructure. This collaboration is expected to foster further growth and accelerate Web3 adoption in the Asia Pacific and Africa regions. By leveraging Huawei Cloud's advanced cloud computing capabilities, EMURGO aims to bolster the open-source Cardano ecosystem and other decentralized blockchain networks.

Huawei Cloud, renowned as one of the world's largest cloud computing providers and a prominent brand in cloud services under Huawei, will offer Cardano blockchain developers access to its extensive range of features. This includes its global network and processing power, enabling the development of scalable Web3 solutions that can seamlessly integrate on a larger scale. Moreover, this collaboration will enable Cardano's Web3 capabilities to be featured on Huawei Marketplace, expanding its accessibility to various organizations.

The collaboration between EMURGO and Huawei signifies the early stages of further collaboration to develop the Cardano ecosystem across significant economies in the Asia Pacific and Africa regions.

Ken Kodama, CEO of EMURGO, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership and highlighted the potential to merge Huawei's reliable cloud technology with Cardano's decentralized blockchain network. This synergy aims to empower developers and advance Web3 applications while upholding principles of transparency and trust in data exchanges across connected devices and IoT services within the cloud ecosystem. EMURGO looks forward to driving mutual growth in the Asia Pacific region through close collaboration with HUAWEI CLOUD.

Rex Lei Yang, Managing Director of Huawei Cloud Singapore, emphasized their commitment to innovation and expressed excitement about collaborating with EMURGO to access a vast network of Web3 developers and solutions built on the Cardano blockchain. This partnership is expected to propel Huawei Cloud's Web3 services forward.

With over 3,000 stake pools providing liquidity and staking for millions of ADA holders, EMURGO has been a foundational entity in the Cardano blockchain.

Through initiatives like EMURGO Africa and the Cardano accelerator, Adaverse, EMURGO has established a strong presence across Africa and is expanding its operations throughout the Asia-Pacific region, including Singapore, Indonesia, India, and Japan. On Cardano, nodes (or stake pools) play a crucial role in ensuring network security through permissionless participation.
