AI no-code blockchain tools challenge AWS’s cloud dominance
The growth of AI-powered no-code tools that let users build applications via natural-language prompts on blockchain infrastructure is expected to challenge Amazon Web Services’ dominance in cloud computing, according to industry executives.
Lomesh Dutta, vice president of growth at the Dfinity Foundation, said these tools broaden access to application development and enable tailored user experiences that will require ongoing AI-driven updates and maintenance. He’s referring to tools built on decentralized computing platforms.
He noted that when applications are continuously generated and refined by AI, they need infrastructure that is secure, tamper-resistant, and capable of operating without constant human oversight. Dutta added that decentralized blockchain networks remove single points of control and enable the development of secure, reliable, and fault-tolerant software.
Despite positioning themselves as decentralized, many crypto and Web3 projects run consumer-facing applications and websites on centralized cloud services, including AWS, according to Internet Computer founder Dominic Williams. AWS continues to dominate the cloud-computing market in 2025, as shown by global market data.
AWS outages impact the crypto industry in 2025
Multiple AWS service disruptions occurred in 2025, affecting several crypto platforms and exchanges that host their applications on AWS infrastructure. These outages are recorded in the AWS Health Dashboard.
The first incident took place in April and disrupted operations at centralized exchanges including Binance, KuCoin, and MEXC. During the outage, Binance temporarily paused withdrawals until services were restored, as announced on their official status page.
Another outage in October affected Coinbase’s mobile application, with users reporting login issues, performance slowdowns, and withdrawal problems.
Other financial applications were also impacted, including brokerage platform Robinhood and the Web3 wallet MetaMask.
The October disruption lasted about 15 hours, highlighting the extent to which crypto and Web3 projects rely on centralized cloud providers.
This reliance has drawn criticism from industry participants, including Jamie Elkaleh, chief marketing officer at crypto wallet provider Bitget Wallet, and Carlos Lei, co-founder of the decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) marketplace Uplink. In October, Elkaleh said decentralization has been achieved at the ledger layer but not yet at the infrastructure layer.
