Hi @infu
The boundary nodes will be split into two parts: the API Boundary Nodes that serve only the Internet Computer API endpoints (query, call, read state, status) and the Gateways (currently only the HTTP Gateways) that map between a protocol and the Internet Computer API (e.g., in the case of HTTP Gateways between HTTP(S) and API calls such that browsers can directly access dapps hosted on-chain). Anyone is free to run any gateway. You could do that already now and point your Gateway to the API endpoints on the existing Boundary Nodes. Ultimately, the Boundary Nodes today are VMs and you can start based on them.
