Infura, a blockchain tool development company, is planning to distribute a decentralized infrastructure protocol early next year to support the Ethereum dapps ecosystem.
The tool, which is currently marketed, is too centralized to support the dapps ecosystem, according to the firm.

Infura’s plan to decentralize its Web3 API services, also known as a decentralized infrastructure protocol, is a significant initiative as it would be the first step towards open-source code for the tool’s core components as well as decentralization of the JSON RPC API that users would use to access the Ethereum blockchain.
Infura easily connect dapps to the Ethereum
Infura enables roughly 350,000 users to easily connect dapps to the Ethereum blockchain without having to run a full node, which requires greater storage and has higher costs. However, while running a full node enables users to protect the sensitive activity, Infura collects wallet addresses and IP data from its users.
Infura plans to maintain its more centralized service, which relies on a single supplier, ConsenSys, and Amazon-hosted cloud services. The decentralized protocol will coexist alongside it.

Infura co-founder Eleazar Galano says Infura’s decentralized protocol will enhance its more centralized services to provide the best customer experience.
“We’re trying to decentralize the lower infrastructure layer beneath that so that operators serving this sort of traffic can communicate more freely,” Galano said. “Certain aspects of the customer experience, like customer support engineers and customer success managers, cannot be decentralized.”
Infura plans to decentralize by creating an open-source initiative that will encourage the DeFi community to collaborate on open-sourceing key components of Infura.
“Infura is a trusted node provider service that people rely on,” said Galana. “We want to work with early partners to stand up decentralized infrastructure in a way that people will be happy with.”
