The AWS outage exposing Coinbase's centralization is deeply ironic given crypto's decentralized ethos. The fact that 37% of Ethereum execution nodes run on AWS, plus critical infrastructure like Base and Infura, demonstrates how far we've drifted from the original blockchain vision. Lefteris Karapetsas's critique is spot on - we've essentially recreated Web 2.0 dependency on major cloud providers while wrapping it in decentralized rhetoric. What's particularly troubling is that this isn't just about exchange downtime - it's about the fundamental fragility of the entire crypto ecosystem. When a single cloud provider failure can bring down major L2s and wallet conectivity, we're no better positioned than traditional finance. The surge in decentralized storage tokens like Filecoin and Arweave after this outage suggests the market recognizes this vulnerability, but adoption remains limited. The real question is whether institutional players like Coinbase will actually invest in true infrastructure decentralization or continue optimizing for cost and convenience at the expense of resilience.
