Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Hemi Network - Unifying Bitcoin and Ethereum
This week, we spotlight Hemi Network, a modular Layer-2 that bridges the two largest blockchains by volume and capitalization with a decentralized infrastructure backbone.Origin StoryHemi was born from the idea that Bitcoin and Ethereum shouldn’t exist in isolated silos. In 2024, Bitcoin core veteran Jeff Garzik and security expert Max Sanchez set out to create a network that converges the strengths of both. Unveiled at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville, Hemi’s testnet quickly gained traction, proces...

Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)[DIN Highlight] Rivet
In this week’s Web3 Wednesday, we highlight Rivet, a core contributor to the DIN protocol and a long-standing force in open source blockchain infrastructure. From the beginning, Rivet has focused on a single, urgent mission: eliminating the centralization that continues to limit the potential of Web3. As a partner and co-designer of DIN, Rivet has been instrumental in helping shape a new model for reliable, decentralized RPC.Solving Web3’s Centralization BottleneckRivet was built to solve a f...
Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)Breaking the ‘RPC Trilemma” - Charting a New Path for Web3 Infra’s Dirty Little Secret
IntroductionWeb3 RPC & API infrastructure companies serve as the backbone of the Dapp industry, servicing data and write access to blockchains to the large majority of the industry. However, with the evolution and maturation of the industry, the business model supporting this backbone faces a challenge. Termed by DIN as the “RPC trilemma,” web3 RPC & API providers are confronted with the difficulty to simultaneously achieve three competing priorities:High Reliability: Consistent uptime, low l...

This week DIN spotlights Chainstack, one of our inaugural infrastructure providers and a long-time contributor to Consensys projects. Since 2018 Chainstack has focused on making blockchain infrastructure as dependable and straightforward as modern cloud workloads. Early work included hosting Ethereum Archive nodes and helping MetaMask absorb congestion spikes, experiences that positioned the team perfectly for DIN’s permissionless RPC marketplace.
Chainstack operates full and archive nodes across the United States and Europe, serving more than 10 billion relays per month for customers such as 1kx, Story Protocol, DRPC, PASG Network, Pokt.Network, ARKEO, Lava Network, and Elliptic. Their multi-cloud setup automatically scales and monitors nodes, delivering low-latency access while avoiding single-region bottlenecks. Public tooling like the Compare Dashboard offers real-time success-rate and latency benchmarks that anyone can audit, reinforcing their transparency ethos.
Many “decentralized” RPC services still depend on a single hidden operator or require builders to stitch together several vendors. DIN replaces that patchwork with a unified, on-chain marketplace that routes traffic to the fastest, most reliable endpoints. Chainstack views this model as the missing link between ease of use and true decentralization. Joining DIN allowed the team to plug its high-availability clusters into a network where performance is continuously verified and fairly rewarded.
Chainstack currently delivers endpoints for
Ethereum
Arbitrum and Arbitrum Sepolia
Base
BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
Scroll
Solana
Starknet
ZKsync
These eight ecosystems align with Chainstack’s existing full and archive node fleet, ensuring instant, globally distributed capacity for builders who need production-grade throughput.
DIN’s performance-weighted routing naturally directs heavy traffic toward well-maintained infrastructure. Chainstack’s clusters absorb that demand without extra overhead because monitoring, alerting, and billing pipelines were already in place. The result is a healthy boost to enterprise revenue, achieved through reliability alone rather than aggressive sales tactics.
The team predicted Ethereum-centric usage but quickly saw developers overwhelming Mantle and Blast endpoints the moment those networks went live. This rapid adoption confirmed that a neutral marketplace can accelerate new-chain growth simply by making high-quality RPC instantly discoverable.
Chainstack believes decentralized infrastructure is indispensable for user-friendly, resilient dApps. Their open-source tools, such as the Compare Dashboard and load-balancer templates, let projects build multi-cloud, geographically balanced RPC stacks in minutes. They also foresee pricing moving from per-request billing to predictable RPS tiers, similar to the Unlimited Node add-on that offers flat-fee, capacity-capped clusters for demanding workloads.
The Chainstack team is eager to
contribute analytics and benchmarking utilities for DIN,
deploy and configure new networks on demand, and
continue refining flat-rate capacity models that simplify budgeting for high-traffic applications.
Their long-term commitment to performance and openness makes Chainstack a cornerstone of DIN’s growing provider ecosystem.
