According to an interview with InFura researcher Patrick McCorry by Cointelegraph on Feb. 6, InFura is developing a decentralized sales market made up of data providers, which will help avoid future Web3 application crashes.

McCorry indicates that a new "decentralized InFura" will help keep the blockchain decentralized by distributing data provider service items among several providers on the market. It is about to usher in "more than 10 providers in the beginning", he will "collaborate to guide the Internet correctly, and then […]" Gradually iterate and update to get more players. A number of potential partners will meet at the Denver Institute of Technology in late February or early March to discuss the next steps of the project.

The latest project is not easy to be a new blockchain. In turn, it will be a sales market that matches consumers of blockchain data with data providers. As Macaulay put it, the current centralized InFura will be just one of the suppliers on the Internet:

"there will be a sales market, and most of the new dealers will sign there [.] They can put available network resources in it, so they can say,'I can meet this requirement at this price.' The user can happen, and then the resource is selected, and then it looks like an appointment service for the user.

Macaulay believes this will make the Web3 ecosystem more resilient because it allows users to quickly switch to a new dealer in the event of a failure of the service provider they are currently using. He stressed that a new decentralized InFura is actually more verifiable than the current service, as dealers will be distributed in many different geographical regions and operate in different jurisdictions.

"I think what needs to be emphasized here is that the goal of decentralized InFura is not to resist censorship, or even to achieve it," he said. All the practical significance of decentralized InFura is a new stability project to ensure that if we exit, another connection point will appear and access the total traffic. " But, he added, the internet's service providers would be spread across jurisdictions and governed by different standards in large countries.

"the way to contain verification is where it is located. Now, if your big country doesn't have to follow some bans, you can help with the request. "

"the goal of decentralized InFura is not to help with blocked trading, but it is about to usher in nodes from a variety of locations, so he is likely to help with requests. Naturally, the physical line on the Internet will naturally follow all prohibitions or other requirements of this piece. "

InFura is a set of API and development environments that Web3APP developers use to get data from blockchains. They are used by many different Web3 applications, including MetaMaskGnosis and Aragon. It is also used by many intermediary trading centers to track withdrawals.

Although blockchain Internet deducts transaction fees to avoid overweight web servers due to excessive buying and selling, this fee is deducted only to users who load data into blockchain. InFura has become a way to deduct the cost of reading article data from developers or users, which often does not incur transaction fees on the chain.

With more and more InFura being used by real estate developers, it has been criticized for being exposed to over-centralization. In November 2020, when the InFura network lost packets, the MetaMASK wallet application stopped running for most users, and some centralized trading centers were unable to get accurate trading data from it. This makes some critics wonder whether Etherum can really be decentralized as long as developers rely on InFura to give data to users.
