Tracking Slot Drift
Today, we are excited to introduce a new way to measure real-time Slot Drift for your own RPC endpoints. This feature is optional, and by opting-in, you'll be authorizing Ironforge to make JSON-RPC requests, specifically the getSlot method to your target endpoint.
You can visualize the slot drift data in the RPC Endpoint analytics, where you'll find the new Slot Drift chart as shown below,
To learn more about how it works and how to start tracking slot drift for your RPCs, check out our Slot Drift documentation.
What's Next?
In the coming days, we will be releasing another update to our Load Balancer, making it smart enough to be able to automatically re-route your traffic to avoid RPCs that are lagging behind and avoid sending stale data to your applications.
