Polygon Archival RPC Traffic Surges on Pocket Network

Relay Recap #111 options one other enormous week from Polygon Archival RPC visitors, BSC exhibiting energy within the High 5, and an replace on Portal v2. This recap covers stats from April 13 – April 19.

Completely satisfied Friday! We’re again with one other Relay Recap.

For starters, Polygon Archival RPC relays didn’t simply relaxation on their laurels after final week’s 151% beneficial properties. The chain stepped on the fuel this week, posting an enormous 762% improve in relays. In the meantime, we noticed tremendous constant efficiency throughout the board from the remainder of the supported chains, with complete day by day relay counts largely hovering between 1.2 and 1.3 billion (we had sooner or later this week that cleared the 1.3 billion mark).

Archivals and testnets are additionally exhibiting no indicators of slowing down from latest robust performances. Polygon Archival, Ethereum Goerli, and Polygon Mumbai have all been flexing their relay muscle tissues, making their approach into the highest gainers checklist this week.

So far as the High 5 chains go, BSC had probably the most beneficial properties, with a 23% improve in relays. Ethereum and Polygon, alternatively, shed about 3% of their share of complete relays to different chains.

Past the High 5, we additionally noticed Meter relays greater than double, and Arbitrum One with a giant week of its personal, racking up over 40 million weekly relays. And let’s not neglect Optimism, which moved previous 200 million day by day relays and had its second particularly robust week in a row.

Additionally of observe was Kava making an enormous leap into the highest 10 for earnings per node, whereas Meter and NEAR had their very own massive actions in the identical metric.

All through this era, the community serviced a median of 1.26 billion day by day relays. The day by day excessive for this time interval was recorded at 1.336 billion on April 14th. 

Total, 8.8 billion relays had been serviced through the week. This was a 5% improve from the 8.4 billion relays the prior week.

Heads Up: Portal v2 improve begins subsequent week!

Earlier than we go an excessive amount of additional, be sure to mark your calendars – subsequent week is the start of the Portal v2 improve!

It’ll take roughly 2 weeks to launch our new product and transfer throughout cloud suppliers. On April twenty fourth, beginning at 12pm Japanese / 4pm UTC, the Portal UI can be unavailable for two hours whereas we migrate our Portal database from AWS to GCP. We’ll be monitoring the database for twenty-four hours and migrating our first area from AWS Eire to GCP Madrid on April twenty fifth.

We anticipate no interruptions to servicing relays through the migration course of. Nonetheless, for those who do discover any relay interruption, please notify our staff instantly. And for those who spot any anomalies or points with the Portal or the Community, attain out by way of https://assist.pokt.community/. You’ll be able to hold tabs in Discord for all the newest data because the improve progresses!

Now again to the weekly stats…

Node Earnings

From April thirteenth by April nineteenth, we as soon as once more had no change within the High 3 rankings for complete node earnings, with the gaps between Ethereum, Polygon, and DFKchain staying nearly the identical as properly.

By way of common day by day POKT per node, we noticed the next chains make the High 15 checklist.

As you’ll be able to see, Kava was the largest story for this metric this week. This was attributable to a giant day of relays on the thirteenth, because the chain cleared 4.2 million relays earlier than coming again right down to lower than 1 million relays per day for the remainder of the week. With the chain nonetheless being comparatively new on Pocket Community, and fewer than 300 nodes presently servicing it, this massive day of visitors was sufficient to make the chain fly up this checklist.

Whereas the highest 6 stayed precisely the identical, we did have a few different massive movers past Kava. Meter had a powerful, constant week, with relays simply topping final week’s excessive in day by day of this era. Relays greater than doubled general, whereas the variety of nodes servicing the chain truly decreased a bit, serving to to maneuver Meter up 7 spots within the rankings.

NEAR was an attention-grabbing case this week. The chain truly had an amazing improve in relays, up 71% from final week, however this was complemented by the variety of nodes servicing the chain additionally rising dramatically. Whereas there have been round 150 nodes servicing the chain final week, we noticed an enormous bounce as much as greater than 700 nodes this week. All in all, the 71% improve in relays was greater than balanced out by the larger variety of nodes servicing the chain, inflicting NEAR to drop down 6 spots to the periphery of those rankings.

Node Infrastructure

As of April nineteenth, Pocket Community’s decentralized infrastructure included 20,775 energetic nodes throughout greater than 25 totally different international locations, permitting the community to offer fixed uptime and resiliency whereas supporting dozens of various chains. 

This complete node depend was down about 0.22% from the earlier week.

Wrap Up

Polygon Archival RPC relays surge practically 800%

BSC posts a powerful week within the High 5, whereas Ethereum and Polygon shed some share of relays

Kava makes an enormous leap into the High 10 for earnings per node

Portal v2 improve begins subsequent week!
