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 October 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.

EOSphere were at Token2049 in Singapore this month. We spent most of the time at the EOS Network Foundation stand speaking to the Crypto/Blockchain community about the Antelope Web3 Framework the Antelope Coalition and of course the WAX Protocol Network ;)

This last period has seen us continue to provide rock solid WAX services for the community, we were also successful in being elected to the WAX Mainnet top #21 by the OIG.

This coming month will have us running Headsup (Antelope Monitoring and Alerts Platform) in our production environment which I’m very excited about.

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.

EOSphere WAX API Statistics (Last 2 weeks)

Global distribution is still quite widespread, hotspots in Europe, Asia and North America.

98% of requests are normal WAX Software requests, 2% are for the Hyperion API. In total just over 720 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 between 50 Million and 60 Million successful “200” HTTP requests per day.

This lists the top 25 request types over the last 2 weeks, it’s quite clear that “get_table_rows” for HTTP v2.0 and HTTP v1,1 are still requested most by our users.

Not all queries have referrals, but of those that did most referrals came from Farmers World 23.74% , play.sanguoz.world 12.28% and fw.umaske.com 6.57%. Interesting that the WAX cloud wallet isn’t on the list this period.

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.
