Microsoft, Tencent and 16 other Web2 tech giants have partnered with Consensys as part of their mission to decentralize the Infura network. This was reported by Cointelegraph.
The agreement is aimed at increasing the network’s resistance to censorship and preventing disruptions in the operation of Web3 services using it, including the MetaMask wallet.
Currently, Infura is centralized as it is controlled by Consensys. The single point of failure problem should be solved by the launch of DIN, scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2023
One of the main features of the new decentralized network is “failover support” on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains. In the event of an outage, traffic can be redirected to one or more DIN partners, ensuring higher uptime rates in the long term.
