Two CryptoBriefing stories published within minutes of each other describe the same Subsquid/SQD–Google Cloud BigQuery integration but disagree on whether it was announced in February 2024 or on a recent Tuesday.
What all sources agree on
- SQD (formerly Subsquid) has partnered with Google Cloud to bring blockchain data into BigQuery.
- The integration is led by SQD 360, Subsquid's enterprise business, which handles blockchain indexing and data pipelines.
- Each block undergoes six cryptographic checks to verify data accuracy before it reaches Google Cloud's analytics platform.
- The companies plan to expand the collaboration, including support for more chains.
Where the reports disagree

What to make of it
Treat the existence of an SQD–Google Cloud BigQuery integration as established, but do not rely on either outlet's stated announcement date until the original blog post or press release is checked directly.
