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 Validation Cloud, an AI-powered infrastructure company that ranks first worldwide for RPC performance on CompareNodes and secures billions of dollars in staked assets. Validation Cloud delivers three core product lines - Data × AI, Staking, and Node API / RPC - all supported by Mavrik, a proprietary intelligence engine that lets institutions query and automate Web3 data with natural-language workflows.
Founded to bring enterprise rigor to Web3 infrastructure, Validation Cloud operates SOC 2 Type II-certified clusters and recently raised a $15 million Series A to accelerate global expansion of its AI and staking services. The team joined DIN in 2024 to extend that reliability to a decentralized, performance-routed marketplace. For Validation Cloud, DIN’s cryptoeconomic incentives and transparent monitoring offered the perfect venue to showcase low-latency endpoints while contributing to a trust-minimized ecosystem.
Traditional RPC hosts often limit top-tier performance to one or two regions, and many “decentralized” offerings trade visibility for convenience. DIN routes traffic to the fastest, most reliable nodes across all providers and enforces SLAs through staking and slashing. This model aligns with Validation Cloud’s focus on measurable uptime, latency, and institutional-grade observability, creating an environment where performance is the primary driver of rewards.
Validation Cloud currently serves
BNB Smart Chain mainnet
BNB Smart Chain testnet
opBNB mainnet
opBNB testnet
These chains attract high-growth applications that demand sub-second responses, a metric where Validation Cloud consistently leads in global benchmarks. The company plans to add more of the 50-plus networks it already supports (among them Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Base, and Monad) as DIN expands.
DIN introduces a new revenue lane that rewards verifiable performance rather than simple participation. Because Validation Cloud’s monitoring, alerting, and automated scaling were built for institutional clients, absorbing DIN traffic required minimal overhead. The network’s transparent metrics also feed back into internal performance dashboards, helping the team refine latency targets across all regions.
DIN’s engineering group provided rapid feedback loops, joint incident reviews, and inclusive workshops that accelerated Validation Cloud’s shift from testnet to mainnet across multiple L1 and L2 environments. This hands-on collaboration has been cited by the Validation Cloud team as a key reason for the partnership’s early success.
Validation Cloud views decentralized RPC as essential for a scalable, permissionless Web3. As traditional finance and large enterprises integrate blockchain solutions, demand for verifiable, low-latency endpoints will only grow. DIN’s marketplace model ensures that no single provider becomes a bottleneck, while Validation Cloud’s AI-driven insights help institutions make sense of an expanding data universe. Looking ahead, the company sees opportunities for DIN to move beyond RPC into additional data and compute services. These are areas where Mavrik’s natural-language analytics could add significant value.
Expanded network support across high-value chains
Shared analytics dashboards that surface real-time performance insights for DIN operators
AI-powered tooling from Mavrik to help builders query, visualize, and automate on-chain data
Validation Cloud is committed to advancing DIN’s mission of combining enterprise-grade performance with trustless infrastructure, creating a stronger foundation for the next wave of institutional and consumer Web3 applications.
