Three prominent ex-Googlers have formed the xGoogler Blockchain Alliance (GBA), a new community for Googlers past and present interested in blockchain. This community will serve as an open environment for inquiry, dialogue and development regarding blockchain technology, bringing together current and formers Googlers to share ideas and collaborate in the space. GBA is the brainchild of Hitters Xu, Daniel Wang, and Andy Tian, who now lead some of the most prominent blockchain projects in the world.
