Crypto and Web3 projects market themselves as decentralized but still rely on centralized cloud infrastructure to power applications. The rise of AI-powered no-code tools that allow users to create applications through linguistic prompts rather than computer code, decentralized through blockchain technology, will challenge Amazon Web Services’ (AWS) dominance of the cloud computing market.
