Infura – main RPCA MetaMask provider that allows the wallet to interact with the Ethereum network.
Similar failures have happened before – in November 2020, some exchanges had to stop withdrawing funds. At the time, Infura’s issues were related to consensus bugs in older versions of the Geth client.

Recall that ConsenSys, the company behind the development of Infura, raised $450 million in March at a valuation of $7 billion.
