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 August 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.

This last period has been productive for our Guild. Further optimisation of our global services footprint has been undertaken to ensure we are always online and operational, we have services in Germany, Canada, Singapore and Australia.

We’ve also just released v0.1.3 of HeadsUp just over a month after our milestone v0.1.2 release.

The temperature in the market has the team optimistic, big moves in the OG markets typically have a positive impact on $WAX meaning more development and new games.

On to the update:

Technical Operations

Infrastructure and Services are currently operating normally and the network is as well utilised as usual.

We had a further planned 3rd Party ISP network outage in Perth on the 20th of August. Perth was down for 105mins and returned to full production without any issues.

We are also currently planning to refresh our servers in Sydney, this will probably happen at the end of September 2024.

EOSphere WAX API Statistics (Last 2 weeks)

Global IP Distribution

Global usage distribution is far and wide with the most concentrated usage being from the USA, UK, France, Germany, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines.

HAProxy Backend Breakdown

53.97% of requests are normal WAX Software requests , 46.03% WAX are Hyperion Full History requests. In total over 240 Million user API requests over 2 weeks, excluding our Atomic Assets API which isn’t represented.

HTTP Response Codes

This represents the number of HTTP response codes over the last two weeks per 12 hours. Currently we serve around 8–13 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per day. Which is a bit lower compared to last month where we were serving between 11–14 Million.
Interesting spike on the 21st August which was our “too many requests” policy being triggers. More than 100 Million requests over 24 hours.

Too Many Requests (429) Heatmap

This IP was querying our API more than 1000 times / 5 seconds for a whole day.

Top 25 Request Types

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 (40 Million Requests) are still requested most by our users.

Top Referrers

Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals came from Green Rabbit Game 27.23% , Alienworlds 20.1%, Lanren 9.24% and WAX Cloud Wallet (8.43%)

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.

WAX Technical How To

If you are technically curious or interested in running services on the WAX network, be sure to have a look at our WAX Technical How To series published monthly in the EOSphere Blog on Medium.
