DIN documentation

DIN (Decentralized Infrastructure Network) is a B2B service-discovery marketplace for web3 infrastructure. It helps RPC providers (like Infura) source, validate, and route capacity across a network of node providers. DIN improves reliability, performance, and cost efficiency through provider choice, real-time health and reputation monitoring, and incentive-aligned governance (staking, slashing, and SLA enforcement).

info

For more background information, read the DIN litepaper and whitepaper.

DIN's RPC-as-a-service model lets centralized RPC providers give developers access to blockchain network APIs and RPCs across many chains, through resilient and high-performance endpoints. Developers continue to consume RPCs from their chosen provider, not from DIN directly.

DIN builds with the EigenLayer ecosystem to align onboarding and incentives for participants node providers, watchers, and web3 gateways. DIN as an AVS (Autonomous Verifiable Service) provides decentralized administration for router identities, reputation, and network endpoint management.

DIN values​

DIN's foundational values are:

  • Decentralization – Reduce reliance on a single authority for infrastructure provisioning to improve reliability and access across the ecosystem.
  • Competitive collaboration with partners – Work with traditional competitors to build a marketplace that increases access and reduces costs across the web3 infrastructure ecosystem.
  • Scalability and resilience – Meet growing demand via distributed nodes and partnerships with domain experts in blockchain infrastructure.
