Rekt - We Have a Centralization Issue

The article argues that the October 20, 2025 AWS US-EAST-1 outage exposed crypto's dependence on centralized cloud infrastructure, even though no blockchain failed. It says Infura, which connects MetaMask to blockchains, reported outages across Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Linea, Base, and Scroll during the DNS failures in Amazon's DynamoDB endpoint. It also states that roughly 2,368 Ethereum execution nodes, about 37% of the network, sit on AWS, and that Coinbase and Base were temporarily unusable. The text recommends multi-cloud strategies and decentralized alternatives such as Filecoin, IPFS, Arweave, and Akash Network, while noting they remain marginal.
