Churn Analysis #

This visualizes the uptime of peers over a specific period of time. The plot may display trends in churn rate, distribution of uptime periods, or patterns in peer activity. It helps analyze the stability and reliability of the network by identifying fluctuations in peer participation and examining potential factors influencing churn.

💡 Due to the diversity of Polkadot agents and agent versions, we’ve only included agents that have more than 50 peers.

Crawls #

Protocols #

This plot illustrates the evolving count of nodes supporting each of the listed protocols over time. It exclusively presents data gathered from nodes accessible through a libp2p connection via our crawler. The identification of supported protocols relies on the libp2p identify protocol, hence necessitating a libp2p connection for discovery.
