Is this Cloudflare looking to become the trusted off-chain provider? With decentralization, there’s no entrenched behemoths pulling revenue from the system by virtue of size, but someone sure can hang off to the side and solve all the problems of linking decentralized systems to the rest of the world, and becoming the gateway to and from web3.
Heck, one possible outcome is blockchains become free databases for the entrenched providers, paid for with customer bandwidth and power.
Honestly I think something like this is what will happen; we saw the original decentralized web1.0 as democratizing access to information, but in reality economies of scale have created Facebook and Google - the complete opposite. No reason to suspect this isn’t just the way of things.
