Making infrastructure safer—without slowing it down.

That’s the driving force behind Omnia Protocol. In this episode, Sam Kamani interviews Alex, the CTO and co-founder, to unpack how Omnia scaled Web3 infrastructure to over 4 million users—all while putting security first.

What is Omnia Protocol?

Omnia is an RPC provider—a key piece of blockchain infrastructure that helps users interact with nodes. But unlike traditional providers, Omnia was built with one goal in mind: make every transaction safer, faster, and more transparent for the end user.

From DeFi traders to wallet apps, Omnia serves a broad client base that demands speed and trust.

“We’re not just here to serve RPC calls. We’re here to protect users—especially when they don’t even know they’re at risk.” — Alex

Prioritizing Security in Web3

Security isn't an afterthought at Omnia—it’s the foundation. One of the protocol’s standout features is real-time transaction analysis, which helps prevent malicious activity before it’s confirmed on-chain.

This includes:

Detecting suspicious smart contract interactions.
Blocking scam transactions.
Guarding against front-running and sandwich attacks (common MEV exploits).

While these threats are often invisible to everyday users, Omnia operates as an invisible shield behind their transactions.

Scaling Without Compromise

Scaling a secure RPC layer to millions of users isn’t trivial. Alex shares how the team built a multi-cloud, load-balanced infrastructure capable of smart rerouting and failover—allowing Omnia to handle spikes in demand with minimal latency.

Key strategies included:

Modular backend design
Early investment in observability tools
Load testing across multiple geographies
Avoiding vendor lock-in by using flexible, open infrastructure

“We had to build for resilience first. Uptime means nothing if you can’t trust what’s going through the pipe.” — Alex

Trends in Decentralized Infrastructure

Alex also touches on important trends shaping Web3 infrastructure:

The shift toward multi-cloud deployment to improve redundancy
Interest in restaking as a way to incentivize node reliability
The need for decentralized measurement systems to track node performance without bias

These themes signal a move toward infrastructure as a public good—owned by users, not intermediaries.

Advice for Web3 CTOs

For builders at the early stage, Alex offers clear advice:

Use AI tools like Copilot or ChatGPT to speed up decision-making and prototyping.
Avoid vendor lock-in so you can stay nimble as your product evolves.
Think long-term: Even if you’re building a lean MVP, architect it in a way that supports scaling later.

“In Web3, everyone’s in a rush to ship. But you still need to think 18 months ahead.” — Alex

Mitigating Front Running and MEV

One of the most pressing problems in blockchain is MEV (Miner Extractable Value)—a form of value extraction that can silently eat into user funds.

Omnia helps mitigate this by:

Detecting suspicious transaction timing
Preventing ordering manipulation
Using privacy-preserving transaction relays

This makes it a strong choice for high-frequency DeFi traders and wallets seeking added protection.

What’s Next for Omnia?

Omnia’s roadmap includes:

Decentralizing the measurement of node reliability (removing centralized trust)
Exploring restaking mechanisms to reinforce performance guarantees
Further refining their security filters and data privacy controls

Alex also invites the community to test the platform and offer feedback:

“Omnia is open to the community. We want your feedback so we can evolve together.”
