ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Infura, an Ethereum verification node provider owned by ConsenSys, said that it has made significant progress in the decentralized infrastructure network (DIN) and announced plans to serve as an active verification on the Ethereum re-pledge platform EigenLayer Service (AVS) launched. "
“By leveraging the economic security of Ethereum through EigenLayer, we continue to build on our steady progress with DIN to create a permissionless marketplace for Web3 infrastructure services,” Tom Hay, product lead at Infura DIN, announced 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 leverages EigenLayer's restaking as an onboarding mechanism, providing staking and slashing protection without requiring projects to launch tokens prematurely.
