Cloudflare outage drags down the crypto community, multiple exchanges and DeFi protocols go offline collectively

Abstract generation in progress

[BlockBeats] This afternoon, the entire crypto community experienced access issues, which turned out to be caused by a Cloudflare outage. Fortunately, the official team has already fixed the problem and is currently continuously monitoring the system status.

The impact of this outage was quite significant, with several leading exchanges, including a certain compliant platform, being affected—the user interface was completely inaccessible. Many DeFi protocol front-end pages also went down, likely causing a lot of anxiety among users.

Interestingly, before the US stock market opened, Cloudflare (NET.N)'s stock price dropped by more than 3%, showing how quickly the market reacted. However, when infrastructure service providers like this encounter issues, the impact is indeed widespread, as half of Web3 relies on their services.

cloudflare taking down half of defi frontend access... yep, this is exactly the kind of centralized infrastructure risk i've been screaming about. single point of failure kills everything. reminds me of the stargate bridge collapse back in '22—except this time we just lost ui access, not actual funds. silver lining i guess?

If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have set up my own node for safety. Relying on third-party CDNs will end up costing you sooner or later.

Once again, it's an infrastructure issue—this time, Cloudflare couldn't handle it. Half of Web3 is paralyzed just because of one service provider. What does that say? NET stock price dropping 3% is kind of deserved; how can such a critical service still go down? When will vulnerabilities like this in DeFi ever truly be resolved?

--- **Comment 1:** It's Cloudflare again, I really can't take it anymore—it's practically keeping me on life support. **Comment 2:** LOL, NET drops 3% and everyone freaks out? The last coin I went all in on dropped 30% in a day and nobody cared this much. **Comment 3:** This is the problem with centralized infrastructure, how many times do I have to say it? Some people just won't listen. **Comment 4:** This is exactly why you need to run your own nodes. Depending on these big guys is just too much of a pain. **Comment 5:** Bad news is there's an outage, good news is the boss didn't make us cover any losses—I'll take it.

Damn, it's Cloudflare again. How many people's assets is this guy responsible for? Every time Cloudflare goes down, someone gets liquidated. Just thinking about it feels risky. Half of Web3 relies on this guy—the risk is way too concentrated. But on the other hand, with that 3% drop in NET, anyone who bought the dip now is probably making bank. A single outage can cripple so many exchanges at once—the level of dependence is kind of scary. Man, can't trade again. Is there any secure infrastructure left? Is it really over just because Cloudflare is fixed? What about DeFi platforms that don’t have a central platform? Feels like this outage was mild—no massive slippage, and that's already a blessing.

That's why you need to build your own infrastructure and not rely too much on a single service provider. Half the industry is paralyzed just because of one company, it's really unbearable. This move by Cloudflare has completely destroyed their own moat—NET is going to drop. Once again, it proves the weakness of centralization, but there's nothing we can do. This kind of thing will definitely happen again in the future, since everyone is using it.
