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 November 2022 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.

I hope that you are all weathering the bear market storm, especially considering all the Exchange craziness. The good news is we are still building and the WAX Protocol Network along with all other Antelope Coalition Networks are it to go the distance.

This last period involved upgrades and building across our infrastructure. We were also elected to the WAX Top #21 by the OIG once more. However the highlight for us being the first public release of HeadsUp our Antelope Monitoring and Alerts Platform, yes it’s in the wild now!

On to the update:

Technical Operations

Infrastructure and services are currently operating normally and the network is well utilised maybe dipping off over the last few days.

We have upgraded all Testnet and Mainnet Infrastructure to Antelope Leap based WAX software ready for a network consensus upgrade in the future.

Our WAX Hyperion Full History Service has had a complete software upgrade.

  • Hyperion v3.3.7
  • Elasticsearch 8.5.2
  • Daily Snapshots | ES Snapshot Repository API

There was large increase in network wide utilisation on the 29th November, which was identified as an issue in the Alien Worlds contract and was soon remedied by the AW Team.

EOSphere WAX API Statistics (Last 2 weeks)

Global IP Distribution

Global distribution is still quite widespread, hotspots in Europe and Asia this month.

HAProxy Backend Breakdown

96% of requests are normal WAX Software requests, 4% are for the Hyperion API. In total 450 Million user API requests over 2 weeks, excluding our Atomic Assets API which isn’t represented.

HTTP Respnse Codes Over Time

This represents the number of HTTP response codes over the last two weeks per 12 hours. Currently we serve around 32 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 (173 Million Requests) and HTTP v1,1 are still requested most by our users.

Top Website Referrers

Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals came from Farmers World 19.06% , play.sanguoz.world 15.28% and wax.azod.io 10.75%. Interesting that the WAX cloud wallet isn’t on the list this period again.

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.
