Ethereum isn’t down this morning, but to users of popular wallet MetaMask and other decentralized apps (dappsdapps) built on the top smart-contractsmart-contract blockchain network, it might seem like it. That’s because the widely used infrastructure service Infura is suffering an outage, which is impacting an array of apps and services built on EthereumEthereum.
Problems began popping up earlier this morning as users reported issues accessing Ethereum applications, particularly with MetaMask, which counts more than 30 million monthly users.
According to an update on the Infura status page as of 13:43 UTC, the infrastructure provider identified issues with many of its APIs, which connect apps and services to the Ethereum blockchainblockchain. The affected APIs included those for Ethereum as well as scaling solutions like Polygon, Optimism, and Arbitrum, as well as Filecoin and NFT protocol Palm.
Wish we could say GM fam.
We apologize for the service disruption and inconvenience. Our team is all-hands-on-deck working to resolve the incident.
Please follow https://t.co/096rxS73SR for more information.

As of 15:08 UTC, Infura said that it was working on deploying a solution. “We are in the process of rolling out a fix and our core systems are starting to recover,” the status page reads. “Full service functionality will be reestablished as remaining components come back online.”
When asked for comment or additional information on the issues, an Infura representative told Decrypt, “Unfortunately we don't have any more details to share at this point since our engineers are hard at work on a fix.”
On social media, Ethereum users shared complaints, with one NFT collector writing, “Just started my morning with a nice little panic attack.” Project creators likewise shared the news, including Ethereum NFT collection The Sevens, which tweeted that its current NFT mint was “disabled” due to Infura issues.
While Ethereum is the leading platform for dapps, NFT trading, and DeFiDeFi (the trading and borrowing of crypto assets without third-party intermediaries), the decentralized ecosystem still largely relies on some common infrastructure.
Crypto software giant ConsenSys announced on Tuesday that its popular wallet MetaMask, which people use to store Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies with Web3 applications, now has over 30 million monthly active users. That figure reflects a 42% increase in the last four months, when MetaMask reported 21 million users, and comes as it is positioning itself to be a key player in the emerging Web3 economy. "A global user base relies on MetaMask to mint and collect NFTs, join DAOs, and participate...
That’s why when a service like Infura goes down, the impact can be especially pronounced and touch many of the most popular Ethereum apps and services. Infura previously encountered a major outage in November 2020, which it described in a postmortem as the “most severe service interruption in our four years of operation.”
Melbourne-based ShareRing has been tapped as the first digital identity provider to begin testing its tech for the Australian government's US$4 million verification technology trials approved late last year to enforce social media restrictions for underage users. The blockchain firm will launch a pilot program with school students in Darwin, testing its self-sovereign identity platform that allows users to safely and securely provide age verification while keeping control of their personal data....
Despite being built for resilience, blockchain projects remain vulnerable to cyberattacks, especially those targeting individual projects and cross-chain bridges. In recent years, these weak spots have cost the industry billions. A new San Francisco startup, Octane, believes artificial intelligence can help stem the bleeding. In 2024, hackers stole approximately $2.2 billion worth of crypto through exploits. Just four months into 2025, that figure has already nearly been matched, underscoring th...
Colossal Biosciences, a Texas-based genetic engineering company, claimed this week it had “de-extincted” the dire wolf—thrilling scientists and Game of Thrones fans alike. While Colossal said the dire wolves were revived using ancient DNA, how close are they to the real thing? The company makes it clear that they’re not “cloning” in the traditional sense, instead, they’re using genetic engineering and synthetic biology in a process often referred to as “de-extinction” or “genetic rescue.” Coloss...
