InfStones is a leading blockchain infrastructure provider that builds an enterprise-grade Platform as a Service (PaaS) platform enabling developers and institutions to launch, manage, and scale Web3 applications across over 80 blockchain protocols.[1][2][3][4][5] It serves major clients like Binance, BitGo, and projects in Solana, AI DePIN, DeFi, NFT, and GameFi ecosystems by solving core challenges in node deployment, staking, API access, and multi-cloud management, with features like one-click setup, real-time monitoring, zero-slashing staking, and Fast API for high-performance integration.[2][3][4][5] The company has achieved unicorn status, raised $110 million from investors including SoftBank and GGV Capital, and supports over 20,000 nodes globally with a team of nearly 100 from 10 countries.[1][2]
InfStones was founded in 2018 by CEO Zhenwu Shi, who identified scalability issues in proof-of-work blockchains amid the rise of decentralized applications (dApps), prompting him to create infrastructure solutions for Web3 development, node management, and staking.[1][2] Zhenwu's passion for blockchain's potential, embodied in the company's "Never Give Up" ethos, drove persistence through early uncertainty; while competitors pivoted by 2020, InfStones secured key clients like Binance, expanded rapidly, and reached unicorn status within years.[1] Today, with expertise from veterans in distributed systems and enterprise software, it operates across four continents, validating its focus on reliable infrastructure.[1][2]
InfStones rides the Web3 infrastructure boom, particularly high-performance chains like Solana and the AI-blockchain convergence in DePIN networks, where decentralized hardware meets real-world AI applications.[2][5] Timing aligns with surging dApp adoption post-2020, as blockchain shifts from PoW limitations to scalable PoS and multi-chain ecosystems, amplified by institutional demand for compliant, reliable tools.[1][2] Market forces like exploding DeFi/GameFi volumes and AI integration favor its global, decentralized platform, lowering barriers for developers and influencing the ecosystem by powering top protocols and enabling seamless scaling.[4][5][7]
InfStones is poised to dominate as AI DePIN and multi-chain Web3 mature, expanding node-as-a-service for emerging projects while deepening enterprise integrations.[5] Trends like restaking, MEV optimization, and cross-chain interoperability will fuel growth, potentially solidifying its gold-standard status amid rising institutional blockchain adoption.[1][2] Its influence may evolve from infrastructure enabler to AI-blockchain pioneer, empowering global changemakers to launch world-altering dApps without limits.[4][5]
