Microsoft, Tencent and other technology giants cooperate with ConsenSys to strengthen the decentralization of Infura network

Odaily News reported on November 15 that Microsoft, Tencent and 16 other Web2 giants have cooperated with ConsenSys to jointly fulfill the task of decentralizing the Infura network. The collaboration aims to strengthen the decentralization of the Infura network, which is key to preventing disruptions exploited by its Web3 services, including wallet service MetaMask. Andrew Breslin, senior product manager at DIN, said in an interview that the importance of the partnership is less about who they are and more about the high-profile companies working with Infura who want to decentralize every part of the blockchain infrastructure stack. layer. DIN is scheduled to be launched in Q4 as a solution to Infrua’s centralization problem. The network is currently controlled by Consensys, which means there is still a single point of failure. Breslin said that one of the first major features provided by DIN is “failover support” for the Ethereum and Polygon networks. Failover support means that in the event of an outage, traffic can be rerouted to one or more DIN partners, guaranteeing higher uptime in the long term. (Cointelegraph)
