But today the illusion cracked again in real time.
#Cloudflare goes down and the entire front end of crypto collapses:
X down. #Coingecko down. @Dexscreener and @DEXToolsApp down. Scanners dead. Portfolio apps failing. Even outage trackers dropping with them. And plenty more in the dark.
All because the majority of #crypto front ends still lean on a single centralised web provider for access, routing and delivery.
One outage and the whole industry is blind, deaf and helpless.
A large part of crypto infrastructure too: Bitcoin nodes, Ethereum clients, Solana validators, RPCs, exchange backends and countless tools are commonly run on Linux.
