Cloudflare's Ethereum Gateway
Cloudflare has announced its Ethereum Gateway as part of Crypto Week 2019, allowing users to interact with the Ethereum network without installing additional software on their computers. This gateway is another tool in Cloudflare's Distributed Web Gateway suite, which also includes hosting content on the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS). The new Ethereum Gateway enables access to the Ethereum network through a custom hostname and allows for adding interactive elements to sites powered by Ethereum smart contracts. This setup supports decentralized website hosting with added speed, security, and reliability provided by Cloudflare's edge network.
