Nodes & RPC
3 storiesAn article belongs in Nodes & RPC when its principal subject is blockchain node operations, remote procedure call services, or full node infrastructure. General development tooling belongs under Developer Infrastructure; this section focuses on node operation, RPC access, provider reliability, latency, rate limits, synchronization, decentralization, and endpoint failures. The section uses node provider outages, transaction broadcast services, and endpoint latency benchmarks to show how the mechanism operates and which users, systems, or markets are affected. Key lines of inquiry include RPC endpoint reliability, node synchronization performance, and archival node access; related work may also assess rate limit policies and decentralized RPC networks.
EIP-8361 Could Streamline Ethereum Mempool Validation With Proofs
A new Ethereum proposal, EIP-8361, aims to reduce node workload by letting certain transactions carry cryptographic proofs for mempool admission, potentially enabling more complex account logic without slowing network propagation
Bitcoin Faces Block Rejection as BIP-110 Enforcement Nears
Bitcoin nodes enforcing BIP-110 will soon begin rejecting non-signaling blocks, raising the risk of chain splits and operational uncertainty for miners, exchanges, and node operators as the signaling window closes with low support
Ethereum Mainnet Hits 11 Years Without Full Outage
Ethereum Mainnet has produced blocks without a complete network halt since July 30, 2015, relying on independent validators, multiple clients, and peer-to-peer design rather than any single operator
