About Infura

Infura is the leading infrastructure platform providing scalable and easy-to-use APIs and cloud solutions for blockchain and decentralized application developers. Infura currently offers APIs for Ethereum IPFS and other leading decentralized networks allowing developers to immediately begin building instead of spending time on architecting and maintaining their own infrastructure.

Infura provides developers instant access to decentralized and blockchain networks without the need to sync or understand complicated peer to peer infrastructure. Similar to how one might access a cloud service to alleviate the friction of owning proprietary compute and storage Infura lowers the barrier to entry for engineers to begin building.

We believe in a more equitable and decentralized future and we know developers will be at the forefront of that progress. We want to empower developers to spend their time building creating and evolving by providing them with the best and easiest solution to their infrastructure needs.

Some things to know about the Infura team we are a remote first company with team members all over the world. We strive to reduce meetings respect work life balance promote diversity and generally be good people. We depend on each other not only to make an amazing product but to be a group that wants to succeed together.
