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 January 2023 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.

The EOSphere Team wishes you all a Happy and Prosperous 2023, we trust a relaxing Christmas holiday was had by all .. even you if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s still a holiday right :)

Over the last six weeks we did have a bit of a Team Break however being a WAX Guild is 24/7/365 so things were still happening. Once again were elected by the OIG into the WAX #21 and our HeadsUp platform has had new features added #BUIDL

On to the update:

Technical Operations

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

We added a full WAX Mainnet State-History (SHIP) Snapshot to our EOSphere Snapshot Portal, it’s pretty large almost 7TB however it is from genesis.

Our upgraded WAX Hyperion Full History Service is still operating great with daily snapshots, full history is 20.1TB now. Join our WAX ES Snapshot Reposity API Telegram Group for expedient New Deployment or Recovery Instructions.

EOSphere WAX API Statistics (Last 2 weeks)

Global IP Distribution

Global distribution seems to be way more than other periods, the word on WAX awesome games and NFT’s must be spreading.

HAProxy Backend Breakdown

96.06% of requests are normal WAX Software requests, 3.87% are for the Hyperion API. In total over 450 Million user API requests over 2 weeks, excluding our Atomic Assets API which isn’t represented.

HTTP Response Codes Over Time

This represents the number of HTTP response codes over the last two weeks per 12 hours. Currently we serve around 30–35 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per 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 (174 Million Requests) and HTTP v1.1 (107 Million Requests) are still requested most by our users.

Top Website Referrers

Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals other than our own came from Farmers World 13.82% , knight4wax.com 10.01% and wax.azod.io 9.44%.

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 much 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.
