OMNIA Protocol
3 min read Privacy-first access to blockchains Nowadays, access to blockchain infrastructure is concentrated in the hands of a few corporations. For example, almost 90% of decentralized applications and critical systems running over Ethereum are connected to the same node provider, leaving them at a high risk of becoming unavailable. It happened in November 2020,…
