The rise is linked to the introduction of Google Cloud into the world of blockchain, as it joins as a validator and contributor to the Flare Time Series Oracle (FTSO). This marks a significant step in bridging blockchain technology with major tech corporations. FLR has shown impressive growth compared to the overall cryptocurrency market, which has seen a 3.2% decline. In contrast, FLR has outperformed other Smart Contract Platform cryptocurrencies, which have surged by 10.8% in the past day.
