Slot Drift

To evaluate whether your RPCs are experiencing slot drift, we've developed an automated system that periodically tracks the slot drift relative to other RPCs in the network using the getSlot JSON-RPC method.

The slot drift measurement is determined by comparing the getSlot response from the target RPC endpoint against a network-wide baseline. Specifically, the drift value is computed as the delta between:

• The slot number reported by the target RPC
• The highest slot number observed across our reference set of network RPCs

This differential provides a quantitative measure of how far an RPC endpoint has drifted from the network's leading edge.

Key Considerations

• This feature is opt-in, meaning you must explicitly authorize Ironforge to use each individual RPC endpoint for this analysis.
• Requests are sent from New York, USA.
• Requests are made at 10 second intervals.

Opting In

To opt in, you must explicitly authorize Ironforge to use each individual RPC endpoint for this analysis.

1. Go to the RPC Endpoints page.
2. Click on the endpoint you want to authorize.
3. At the bottom of the page, activate the "Track Slot Drift" toggle.
