EOSphere Guild — April`24 Update
EOSphere operate a Guild on the WAX Protocol Network providing infrastructure, services and initiatives with a focus on ensuring the health of the network, as well as assisting in the growth and adoption of the WAX Ecosystem.
Welcome to our April 2024 EOSphere Guild Update. This is where we publicly inform our WAX community of EOSphere’s last six weeks challenges and achievements, rather than just sharing them with the WAX Office of Inspector General (OIG) and peer Guilds.
All eyes on the Bitcoin halving this month and the economic effect it will have on the greater crypto/blockchain ecosystems. $WAX obviously being the priority for us.
There was also a partnership announcement between AWS and WAX this month, AWS are now offering WAX node services making it way simpler for developers and businesses to quickly and easily spin up WAX nodes. We are optimistic that this will mean more WAX games and services in the near term.
This last month the EOSphere Team kept moving forward with software and hardware upgrades including Antelope 5.0 which we also updated our WAX Technical How To Guides on.
Work on our Monitoring and Alerts Platform has been full steam ahead with v0.1, we are now testing the RC and will be publishing shortly.
Technical Operations
Infrastructure and services are currently operating normally and the network is well utilised as usual.
We have continued rolling out upgrades to WAX v5.0.1 using the latest Antelope Leap code.
Our Perth Data Centre has also now been upgraded to a primary Enterprise 1Gbps Synchronous Internet Connection in preparation for more services to be launched there.
We’ve also added additional hardware, CPU’s, RAM and much needed SAS Disks to our Perth server rack.
EOSphere WAX API Statistics (Last 2 weeks)
Global usage distribution is far and wide with the most concentrated usage still being from the US, Germany, Thailand and Singapore.
90.51% of requests are normal WAX Software requests, 9.49% are for the Hyperion API. In total over 246 Million user API requests over 2 weeks, excluding our Atomic Assets API which isn’t represented.
This represents the number of HTTP response codes over the last two weeks per 12 hours. Currently we serve around 14–18 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per day. This is higher than last month where we were serving between 13–15 Million.
This lists the top 25 request types over the last 2 weeks, it’s quite clear that “get_table_rows” for HTTP v2.0 (32 Million Requests) and HTTP v1.1 (97 Million Requests) are still requested most by our users.
What’s also quite phenomenal is that our EOSphere Infrastructure fields around 1.97 Million HTTP v1.1 and 23 Thousand HTTP v2.0 WAX Blockchain Push Actions per day.
Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals came from the Alienworlds 20.39%, WAX Cloud Wallet 7.03% and Green Rabbit Game 6.56%
Please let us know in the comments if there are any specific statistics you would like to see in the next update. Elastic Stack has lots of granularity.
If you are having difficulty or are just curious in using our services you can always check uptime and availability statistics via our WAX Public Facing Service Dashboard.
Product Development
In this last period, the HeadsUp Team have been testing the release candidate that will be used as final for the v0.1 Beta as all phase features have now been incorporated:
- Weighted Alerts
- Alert Reminders
- More Detailed Alerts, include error value, last updated and current value
- Incorporated user requested UI updates
- Modular approach to Metric Processing making it significantly easier to expand the number of metrics and alerts in future.
- Automation of the deployment lifecycle so we can deploy faster and with less risk moving forward.
The plan is to have a rock solid base going forward and we are almost there.
If you would like to give HeadsUp a try, join our Telegram Group for github links and instructions on the current stable Alpha release.
