Our team has been aware of Kaikas’s performance issues due to sudden spikes in user activities, especially during NFT airdrops. This was caused by an overload of the Kaikas Endpoint Node that interacts with the Klaytn network, although the Klaytn mainnet was operating normally. To resolve this issue, we have been applying and testing various approaches, and it is our pleasure to announce that we have upgraded the performance for Kaikas, which was applied yesterday:

  • Before: 1 EN with m5.24xlarge spec
  • After: 6 ENs with m5.8xlarge spec to distribute requests

We expect this upgrade to significantly improve your user experience with Kaikas. We will continue to monitor the performance of the ENs to further refine their spec.

The Kaikas Team takes the voices of our community very seriously, and we are always doing our best to improve Kaikas and its environment for you.

More details on Kaikas can be found in the Kaikas Help Center.
