Accessing Ethereum in a decentralized way has a high barrier to entry for reasons of cost (hardware), knowledge, or time. These problems cause users to rely on centralized providers.
A few examples on how Ethereum's Portal Networks will tackle these centralizing forces
- EIP 4444's + Portal History will allow nodes to maintain current day RPC, well saving 800GB of storage.
- Portal State will allow wallets to use a decentralized backend instead of a centralized backend like Infura.
