Increasing Number of RPC Requests Impacting WebSocket Performance and CUU Metrics

[Rodebrechtd]

Issue Overview:

• Rising number of RPC (Remote Procedure Call) requests via WebSocket.
• Significant impact on CUU (Compute Units Used) per second and per month.
• Topic requires further exploration to identify root causes.

Identified Concerns:

• Logging operations consuming excessive compute resources.
• RPC methods such as eth_sendRawTransaction and eth_estimateGas contributing to high compute usage.

Scalability Considerations:

• Need to address scalability of WebSocket connections and processing capabilities.
• Impact on gas fees as transaction volumes increase, leading to potential cost surges.

Required Actions:

• Investigate the most compute-intensive operations
• Analyze and optimize high-impact RPC methods.
• Develop strategies to manage connection and compute scaling effectively.
• Explore methods to mitigate rising gas fees under high transaction loads.
• Consider a DRPC provider.
