The future of the internet: Inside the race for Web3’s infrastructure

People interact with open-source applications like MetaMask, Web3 games, the metaverse and DeFi protocols every day but don’t often stop to think about what happens in the background for it all to work. Web3 is a rapidly growing new city. Node infrastructure providers make it possible to operate.

DApps all need to connect with blockchains. Every day, full nodes handle billions in requests from DApps for data and read/write to the chain. A huge infrastructure of nodes is required to support the DApp ecosystems that are constantly expanding and meet all their requests. But, managing nodes can be very costly and time-consuming. DApp builders often turn to third party providers for remote access. The infrastructure providers are motivated to run as many Web3 eco-systems as possible. Who is the winner of this race, though?
