Web3 Infrastructure as a Service

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Panelists outline three concrete stacks: Push Protocol runs a decentralized network for wallet-based notifications and claims decentralized real-time delivery after ~2.5 years of work with a planned roll‑out; Spheron offers audited decentralized bare-metal compute to avoid vendor lock‑in and cut infra costs by ~40–70%; Biconomy builds ERC‑4337 smart‑contract wallets plus bundlers/paymasters for gas abstraction. They flag practical gaps: bundler/paymaster standards, better block explorers, on‑chain identity, and new monetization like micropayments and staking.
