The greatest centralizing force in crypto isn't an exchange or a regulator. It's the RPC endpoint. We built a decentralized network of thousands of nodes, only to have 90% of users trust a single company like Infura or Alchemy to tell them what the state of that network is. Your "decentralized" app is making a centralized API call.

https://drpc.org/ is a good start as it’s load balancing to many different RPC providers. Hosting your own RPC is the more technical but “correct” choice (and dapp developers need to support connecting to local RPC) Light nodes like https://github.com/a16z/helios will ultimately allow you to run the access point in the browser.
