Google Cloud Web3 Startups Program is a Google Cloud program dedicated to Web3 technology, aiming to provide funding, technical support, and business development to innovative blockchain startups worldwide. This program gives the approved projects access to Google Cloud's global network, business connections, extensive technical resources, and technical support.

The approved projects can focus more on real-world innovations such as dApps and Web3 tools/services than infrastructure.

The program has various partners from the Web3 community, and also there are grants from Google and the partners below.

80% of the current software (including commercial) source code worldwide is open. Most software today is based on open-source software. However, open-source development is free of charge and is not a sustainable environment.

To make open source development sustainable, the existence of capital (Investor), development resources (Dev), and public relations (Degen) that inform the current situation and gather collaborators is indispensable. Good cooperation among these three parties will enable further open-source development. As open source development develops, the software that depends on it will benefit, and society will become more convenient.

Epics players first choose their job among Dev, Degen, and Investor. After that, you can earn many points by doing actions in your specialty (for example, Dev for development work, Degen for advertising, Investor for investing and donating to open source projects, and holding bounty programs). Teams with all three types of jobs collected get preferential status. Both in the game and the real world, cooperation between developers (Dev), public relations (Degen), and investors (Investor) is essential. As the game progresses, real-world open-source problems also will be solved.

Epics aims to create a sustainable open-source development environment powered by gamification and Web3 token economy. Enthusiasm for the game raises funds, solves problems such as actual bugs, and allows developers to earn a living by contributing to open-source development, allowing them to focus more on development. The virtuous cycle is created. Such a sustainable open-source development environment will enable more convenient software innovation.
