ConsenSys has informed users that it is set to collect additional data from those using its popular Infrura tool, attracting criticism on social media in the process.
Infura is an API-based tool that allows users to connect their application to the Ethereum network, which provides the basis for many key Web3 projects, such as Aragon, Gnosis, OpenZeppelin, and ConsenSys’s own flagship wallet service MetaMask.
After Infrura was first acquired by the New York-based blockchain firm in late 2019, the tool now boasts around 350,000 developers and also includes support for other blockchains like Polygon and Filecoin. ConsenSys is one of 22 strategic investors in Decrypt.
As per updates to ConsenSys’ privacy policy, when you use Infura as your default remote procedure call (RPC) provider in MetaMask, it will collect your IP address and your Ethereum wallet address whenever you make a transaction.
However, if you’re using your own Ethereum node or a third-party RPC provider with MetaMask, ConsenSys says that “neither Infura nor MetaMask will collect your IP address or Ethereum wallet address.”
Alternative RPCs which can be utilized by Ethereum developers include Alchemy, QuickNode, Moralis, and Tatum. These tools have their own data collection policies, too, which could also be subject to change in the future.
"ConsenSys is committed to maintaining the highest standards when it comes to your privacy"
Also, we collect basically every available piece of data from you other than a DNA sample.
If you aren't using a custom RPC for Metamask, I'd suggest doing so now. pic.twitter.com/WizpplYRFE

In a blog post, the firm said that its "policy has always stated that certain information is automatically collected about how users use our sites, and that this information may include IP addresses," adding that isn't "Infura-specific" and that this type of data collection "is consistent with how web architecture works generally."
But ConsenSys isn’t the only firm that has recently made the decision to grow the amount of data that it collects from its user base.
Decentralized exchange Uniswap recently began collecting some off-chain data such as users' device type or browser, saying that the move was aimed at improving user experience.
Uniswap said the data collection did not include other forms of personal information, such as the user's first or last name, full address, date of birth, email address, or IP address.
Notorious internet image board 4chan has always thrived on conflict—but its latest kerfuffle is entirely internal. A rival group hacked the board, exposing user data and deepening the rifts within a community built on chaos and anonymity. On Monday, 4chan went offline around 2:02 p.m. EST, with over 1,200 outage reports logged on Downdetector. Users on X (formerly Twitter) quickly pointed to a hack by an imageboard group known as the Soyjak Party—also called “the Sharty.” The hackers allegedly e...
Betting on the future of human-like machines, New York-based Roundhill Investments filed a prospectus with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a Humanoid Robotics ETF. If approved, the fund would expose investors to companies at the forefront of humanoid robotics, a rapidly evolving area of artificial intelligence. Humanoid robotics refers to robots that resemble and function similarly to humans. These robots typically have a human-like structure, including a head, torso, arms,...
The upcoming revival of tech entrepreneur and investor Kevin Rose’s social news site Digg has a crypto connection, as the social news platform is using embedded wallet platform Privy as an account authenticator for its revamped launch. Privy is currently utilized in other popular Web3 applications like NFT marketplace OpenSea and token launchpad Pump.fun, allowing users to create a crypto wallet with just an email. That abstracts away technical complexities like seed phrases that have been barri...
