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 July 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 has been tracking well this last month for our Guild. The highlight being the release of HeadsUp v0.1 which was a golden milestone that's taken 2 years to achieve. HeadsUp is now a rock solid platform from which we will continue to build features on.

Be sure to check out the public showcase of HeadsUp to get a feel for the platforms capability here -> https://headsup.eosphere.io/

This month also marks the release of the NFT bridge into the WAX Cloud Wallet, bridging the gap between the WAX Blockchain and Ethereum/BSC networks.

On to the update:

Technical Operations

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

We had a planned 3rd Party ISP network outage in Perth on the 4th of July. Perth was down for 90mins and returned to full production without any issues.

Our WAX Hyperion Full History Service for Mainnet is now operating out of our Perth DC without any performance issues, we are also still providing daily snapshots of the Elasticsearch store now being created from the Perth cluster.

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 Ukraine, Russia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

HAProxy Backend Breakdown

70.33% of requests are normal WAX Software requests , 20.13% WAX are Hyperion Full History requests. In total over 220 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 11–14 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per day. Which is a bit lower compared to last month where we were serving between 12–22 Million.
Interesting spike on the 5th July which was out “too many requests” policy being triggers. 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 (34 Million Requests) and HTTP v1.1 (41 Million Requests) are still requested most by our users.

Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals came from Green Rabbit Game 18.11% , Alienworlds 17.25%, Lanren 15.63% and Awminer (11.97%)

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.
