Welcome to DIN - Multichain RPC that doesn’t fail

SLAs and performance should not be affected by enabling the DIN Failover feature. If you are an Infura customer, your provider will still be Infura. We will handle all communications with external providers.

We will eventually be able to indicate specific preferences and use this in your personal routing logic. Note that some preferences may incur additional costs, while others may have additional savings.

The DIN providers will be able to see your request so their logic can properly serve it. Depending on your request, the data can include Ethereum address information, transactions, etc. Infura will not pass on your IP Address. Due to the data shared, DIN (and Infura specifically) will be screening partners to ensure they meet the expected standards of service, including privacy and security. Once routing requests begin, we will update our terms of service to be explicit with any shared information.

We aim to provide the best performance and price for your preferences. Requests could be less expensive for longer latency windows. Requests could also be more expensive if you choose requests routed via certain geographies where infrastructure costs are more expensive (with the likely benefit of lower latency responses).

Yes. In the federated stage, Infura is playing this role in the network. Other providers will also be playing this role when their requests can flow through DIN.

Our Acceptance Criteria Working Group in DIN has formulated criteria based on RPC performance and reputation. More information will be shared on this.

Yes. This is the vision of being able to have more specific preferences when it comes to your routing.

Infura’s shift from centralized to federated model is the first step towards creating more sustainable and accessible gateways for all Web3 users. More details have been outlined in this 2 part blogpost

There may be additional web3 functionality affiliated with the mechanism design if it makes sense for the network. We first have to prove out that the federated model will work before taking a step towards economic decentralization.
