While crypto promises decentralization, autonomy, transparency, and self-sovereignty, many of the services investors rely on operate under a centralized model. These exchanges and custodians typically use single cloud providers like AWS, making your assets vulnerable to outages, hacks, and regulatory pressure. When these systems fail, as they did in the recent AWS incident, users are locked out, powerless, frustrated, and financially exposed. Centralized exchanges and services like AWS dominate the crypto landscape, offering convenience at the cost of vulnerability. In these cases, your assets are only as secure as the weakest link in their chain.

Decentralization Isn’t Optional—It’s Essential

Santeri Aramo, co-founder of Auki Network, captured the moment perfectly: “This is exactly why we build decentralized infrastructure. No single point of failure. No gatekeeper. No lock on your funds. Own your keys. Own your future.” That ethos is more than a slogan, it’s a practical imperative.

Decentralized infrastructure distributes control and operations across a network of nodes, eliminating reliance on any one provider or entity. Unlike centralized platforms that hold your keys and control your access, decentralized solutions let you retain full control, have no third-party downtime, have no withdrawal freezes, and have no unexpected lockouts.
