Formed as the brain child of Herman Junge, Infura was born with the goal of delivering stable and reliable RPC access to the internal projects within ConsenSys. As the Ethereum network began to grab the majority of blockchain developer mindshare, we recognized that Infura would be of broad interest to the entire ecosystem.
We publicly launched at Devcon2 in Shanghai and have been growing ever since to meet the developer demand. Today, Infura is a core infrastructure pillar of Ethereum and IPFS and is enabling decentralized applications of all kinds to scale to accommodate their users. We eliminate the need to install, configure, and maintain costly Ethereum infrastructure. Our Ferryman™ middleware improves reliability and helps us scale quickly to meet your demand. Access IPFS seamlessly without the hassle of managing the infrastructure.
