There is a proposal on

In the latest SBP Graduate Highlight, we take a look at
@AcalaNetwork
, the first project to successfully complete the Substrate Builders Program and win the first parachain auction on
@Polkadot

This is why
#Web3
needs light clients like Substrate Connect.
Decentralized in-browser light clients are a unique feature of substrate-based networks, like
@Polkadot
and
@kusamanetwork
. Allowing users to securely and privately interact with blockchains - without third-parties.
It's happening.
@infura_io
and
@AlchemyPlatform
are now blocking RPC requests to
@TornadoCash
Centralized RPC services are one of the cancers that undermine the core benefits of crypto.
As long as they dominate the market, no protocol is truly permissionless.
