Recently, Ethereum infrastructure developer Consensys updated its privacy policy, stating that when users transact using Infura as the default RPC, their IP and eth addresses will be collected.
Consensys move similar to Web 2 has aroused users concerns about personal data in encryption. Most users said: In the world of Web 3, we need to ensure that IP and Ethereum addresses are not leaked during transactions, and protect them. For your own privacy, it is recommended to replace RPC.”
Its certainly a bad move by Infura, but what about the other RPC providers?

Moralis
Moralis is a Web 3 development middleware that provides developers with a scalable back-end infrastructure, allowing users to focus on the front-end of the application. A series of complicated processes of interacting with the chain can be easily completed through Moralis, so as to save development costs and improve the reliability of the interactive functions on the chain. Similar to other competing products, Moralis also provides developers with on-chain alert push , smart contract monitoring and other functions. Currently, Moralis supports multiple networks such as Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, Solana, and Elrond. Developers can quickly develop cross-chain DApps based on Moralis.
Moralis collects personal information when users sign up for an account or provide Moralis with personal data in any other way, the documents show. Moralis also collects personal data based on the users web activity and activity in emails sent to the user, including how the user uses its website and services and information from third parties; mobile phone information: name and contact details, such as email address, phone number, Location, job title, information about the company represented, tax information, credit card information, and services ordered by the user; account details, including user ID.

QuikNode
QuickNode provides elastic and dedicated nodes for user applications and DApps, that is, application programming interface (API), which can query blockchain data and facilitate the operation of decentralized applications. Similar to Infura, it reduces access to Ethereum data threshold. However, it should be noted that what QuickNode provides is not a shared public node, but a dedicated node. It only accepts calls from user DApps, improving blockchain access performance. It currently supports 11 blockchains, including BSC, Bitcoin, Solana, Optimism, Fantom, Terra, Arbitrum, Gnosis, Polygon, Ethereum and Celo.
The document shows: QuickNode may automatically collect information about computer hardware and software. This information may include: your IP address, browser type, domain name, access time, and referring website addresses. This information is used to operate, maintain, and quality and to provide statistical analysis on the use of the QuickNode website.

Ankr
Ankr is a decentralized Web 3 infrastructure provider, helping developers, decentralized applications, and stakers to easily interact with various blockchains. Users can easily build DApps by accessing API and RPC.
It is reported that Binance Labs previously announced a strategic investment in Web 3 infrastructure provider Ankr; on November 23, Web 3 infrastructure provider Ankr announced that it has become one of Suis first RPC providers. The service is now available on the Sui testnet and will expand to mainnet connections immediately after launch (expected early 2023).
P.S. How to replace your RPC
Steps to replace RPC: Open Fox Wallet, click Account-Settings-Network in the upper right corner;
Pull down to add network;
Click Manually Add Network at the bottom;
To manually add a network, you need to fill in the corresponding information yourself, select the RPC URL link you need in the Network name (the alternative part in the previous article needs to be registered to obtain the RPC link), and fill in the corresponding URL address of your choice in the New RPC URL column ;
where you canwebsiteSelect the RPC URL address (copy URL) you need.
The example is as follows, Ethereum-nodereal is the replaced RPC which is different from infura.
