Last year, during its annual “crypto week”, our portfolio company Cloudflare shipped an IPFS gateway. I wrote about that then.
This year, they have shipped an Ethereum gateway.
It is great to see a very large Internet infrastrcuture provider build and ship crypto gateways.
If you are a small developer looking to create decentralized applications, having a web-scale provider offering IPFS and Ethereum gateways is really helpful.
I expect to see Cloudflare continue to extend the number of crypto protocols they support with their gateways.
And that will be part of what needs to happen to get to a world of truly decentalized applications.
If you are interested in developing on the Ethereum protocol and want to understand how the Cloudflare gateway works, this blog post explains it well.
