A big chunk, as it is now clear, depends on AWS, Google, and Alibaba platforms to power operations. It is a decision that introduces weaknesses to crypto.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Amazon engineers identified the outage as a \u201cDNS race condition\u201d in their automated DNS management system. Simply put, two processes in their DynamoDB, a database service, competed to write the duplicate DNS entry simultaneously, resulting in an \u201cempty\u201d record, which was the source of all their problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">By the time the problem was fixed, Coinbase, Robinhood, MetaMask, and Infura had all reported issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span

data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Aware of the risks, Consensys, which runs Infura, a blockchain infrastructure provider, is taking action by providing easy-to-use RPC endpoints.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Yesterday, Consensys launched a decentralized infrastructure network (DIN) as an actively validated service (AVS) on EigenCloud, a restaking protocol on Ethereum.

agents will be penalized. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On EigenCloud, users can stake ETH or liquid-staked versions like stETH to secure the Ethereum mainnet, then \u201crestake\u201d it to also back other services like DIN.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The DIN is open-source, and node operators can join as providers, competing on performance and earning a share of traffic fees and restaking rewards. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Effectively, with DIN, Consensys is decentralizing Infura and competitors, including QuickNode and Alchemy, which also depend on AWS, might lose market share should this EigenCloud-powered RPC marketplace find traction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span
