EOSphere Guild — February`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 February 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.
It appears that will all the current Bitcoin action and excitement in the crypto space we could be poised for the next bull cycle. WAX is no stranger to a bullish market. With all the building currently taking place in the ecosystem and token economics upgrades being rolled out the EOSphere Team are optimistic on WAX for sure.
This last month was more of what we call in the industry #BPLife, meaning it consisted of building apps, software upgrades, ensuring effective service operation and upgrading hardware.
Our HeadsUp platform has also been coming on well, with us focusing more development time on ensuring we get to v0.1
On to the Update:
Technical Operations
Infrastructure and services are currently operating normally and the network is well utilised as usual.
We have started rolling out upgrades to WAX v5.0.1 using the latest Antelope Leap code, Testnet is already upgraded. We have experienced a positive performance increase in using the new code and actually wrote an article on it this month.
Great news is our Perth Data Centre has received new Hyperscale Dell Hardware, this will be used to more effectively expand our WAX Hyperion Storage.
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.
95.59% of requests are normal WAX Software requests, 4.41% are for the Hyperion API. In total over 220 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 13–15 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per day. This is lower than last month where we were serving between 18–22 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 (41 Million Requests) and HTTP v1.1 (81 Million Requests) are still requested most by our users.
What’s also quite phenomenal is that our EOSphere Infrastructure fields around 1.2 Million HTTP v1.1 and 215 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 17.94%, WAX Cloud Wallet 11.05% and Green Rabbit Game 5.03%
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 continued the road to v0.1
A bug was found in the Ingestor causing it to restart that was fixed. Additionally the connects and latency operation was modified to provide more detail to some of the complex metrics.
The next release will enable the below features:
- Alert Frequency Customisation, users are able to set alert reminders at a frequency of their choosing.
- Weighted Alerts, users can set a threshold for the number of times an metric must fail before alerting the user.
- Alert History Customisation, users can choose how long archived alerts are maintained.
- Additional Detail in Alert Data, new fields displayed in alerts such as report value, last value and the number of notifications for an alert.
HeadsUp Beta v0.1 is soo close we are almost there.
The plan of action over the next 6 weeks is 2 additional code merges above the current v0.0.199 , then testing of this code without any additional operational changes. If all is successful that release will be changed to v0.1 Beta.
