Infura launches DIN AVS to bring decentralized RPC and API marketplace to EigenLayer

Foresight News reported, according to The Block, that the decentralized infrastructure network (DIN) developed by the Infura team under Consensys is launching its Autonomous Verifiable Service (AVS) mainnet on EigenLayer. The goal is to bring economic security and decentralization to a sector long dominated by a few centralized Remote Procedure Call (RPC) providers. This move aims to address the concentration issue in RPC infrastructure, as currently about 70% to 80% of traffic is routed through a handful of centralized providers.

EigenLayer allows users to restake ETH, including through liquid staking tokens such as stETH, to secure third-party applications known as AVS. DIN's AVS is one of the first large-scale applications of EigenLayer's modular restaking model, with the network structure designed to scale through the participation of hundreds of operators and future on-chain incentive mechanisms.
