The platform is used by more than 430,000 developers. Uniswap, MakerDAO and MetaMask are built on it.<\/p>\n<p>The provider&#8217;s team noted that the popularity of its solutions is not conducive to decentralization of the cryptocurrency industry. The new protocol will be rolled out in stages and over time will provide:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a pool of reliable infrastructure operators capable of handling high-throughput requests without a single point of failure;<\/li>\n<li>scaled collective governance, as well as data sovereignty, with security and transparency preserved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Infura also announced an early access program for the project.
