ivault AG Secures Google Cloud Support, Gains Recognition at WAIB Summit Monaco

ivault:- Swiss Web3 startup ivault AG continues to expand its presence in the blockchain sector. In its latest attempt, it has secured support from the Google Cloud Startup Programme and earned recognition at the WAIB Summit Monaco 2026.

Alongside its acceptance into the Google Cloud Startup Programme, ivault has also made partnerships with several infrastructure and software providers.

The Zurich-based company ivault operates as a blockchain-powered peer-to-peer rental marketplace allowing people to earn from sharing. Simply, ivault’s platform enables users to rent out underutilized assets.

It leverages blockchain technology to improve transparency, trust, and identity verification between participants. The company works on the intersection of the sharing economy and Web3, targeting real-world asset rentals.

Ivault Joins Google Cloud Startup Program

A key milestone for ivault came last month when it was accepted into the Google Cloud Startup Programme. The program associated with the big tech giant provides eligible startups with technical resources, cloud infrastructure support. It also provides companies with credits to help scale their operations.

In addition to Google Cloud, ivault has also partnered with a range of technology providers. These include leading infra and tech players such as Cloudflare, Mixpanel, ClickUp, Fireworks AI, GitLab, Linear, Tailscale, and ElevenLabs.

The partnerships, according to the company CEO Arman Sarhaddar , “are aimed at enhancing the platform’s cloud computing capabilities, cybersecurity framework, analytics infrastructure, and artificial intelligence tools.”

ivault’s infrastructure expansion comes as ivault seeks to support a growing user base. According to the company, the platform has surpassed 170,000 app installs. That highlights the need for scalable cloud, security, and analytics infrastructure as adoption increases.

Ivault Earns Monaco Recognition for “Real-World Web3 Focus

Interestingly, ivault’s ambitions didn’t just stop there. In another major feat, the platform earned recognition at the WAIB Summit Monaco 2026, held on June 9 and 10 at One Monte-Carlo.

The recognition came at a summit that attracted executives and policymakers from across the digital asset industry. These include European Commission adviser Peter Kerstens, representatives from Kraken, Franklin Templeton, CoinMarketCap, and other leading Web3 and institutional finance organizations.

Ivault was also nominated for the summit’s “Most Real World Award.” The category recognizes companies building tangible use cases for blockchain technology, particularly in areas such as real-world assets (RWAs), tokenization, payments, and digital infrastructure.

Meanwhile, ivault founder and CEO Arman Sarhaddar was named a finalist for the “Web3 Pioneer Individual Award.” The recognition placed Sarhaddar among a select group of Web3 leaders honored by the Monaco-based summit.

The award category highlights individuals whose work has contributed to advancing blockchain adoption, ecosystem development and innovation across the digital asset industry.

Beyond the industry recognition, ivault was also featured in We Love Zurich, a documentary series produced by Booma. The Zurich-based startup was one of seven companies selected for the project. The series highlights startups helping drive innovation in Switzerland. It focuses on founders building businesses with economic and social impact. Previously, ivault had expanded in Austria.

Thus, these latest milestones add to ivault’s growing momentum. As the industry shifts toward practical use cases, the startup is looking to carve out a place in the emerging market for blockchain-powered asset sharing.
