Infura announced plans to launch a decentralized infrastructure protocol early next year
(BTW, Infura is also used in IPFS, MATIC, STARK, OP, ARB, and more)

Right now, Infura collects wallet addresses and IP addresses from its users. This means that multiple wallets from the same entity could theoretically be linked
Also, they are hosted on AWS.
Their decentralization plan will co-exist with their existing centralized offerings

As seen, there are not many details on how it will work and what its mechanics would be.
We could speculate based on similar products, e.g. @POKTnetwork
I'd rather wait for more information from them - it is indeed a first step in the right, censorship-resistant direction
