PANews reported on November 15 that according to Cointelegraph, Infura, an Ethereum verification node provider under ConsenSys, said that it has made significant progress in the decentralized infrastructure network (DIN) and announced plans to launch it as an active verification service (AVS) on the Ethereum re-staking platform EigenLayer. "
“By leveraging Ethereum’s economic security through EigenLayer, we continue to build on our steady progress with DIN to create a permissionless marketplace for Web3 infrastructure services,” announced Tom Hay, Product Lead at Infura DIN, at Devcon 2024. Launching DIN as an AVS through EigenLayer has several advantages, including reducing development costs, increasing the accessibility and reliability of Web3 services, establishing a collaborative environment between providers, and simplifying the process of launching new services across Web3 gateways.
The main goal of this deployment is to create a more accessible, reliable and efficient decentralized infrastructure to support Web3 development while leveraging Ethereum's economic security. It also uses EigenLayer's re-staking as an onboarding mechanism, providing staking and slashing protection without requiring projects to launch tokens prematurely.
