The Push to Decentralize

The Push to Decentralize

This Thursday, join us at the Atlanta Blockchain Center for a no-fluff deep dive into decentralized infrastructure, sparked by the recent Amazon Web Services outage that took the internet to its knees. The incident exposed how even “blockchain-first” platforms still lean heavily on centralized cloud stacks, raising serious questions about true decentralization and network resilience.

We’ll dive into why this outage matters for Web3 builders and crypto-natives, how it revealed the gap between decentralized protocols and centralized infrastructure, and what real strategies can help mitigate infrastructure risk as we build toward a more autonomous, censorship-resistant future. This convo is all about solutions — not speculation — and how the next wave of builders can strengthen the foundation of the decentralized web.

✨ Bring your network, your questions, and your curiosity. Light bites, chilled vibes, no pressure.
