RockX RPC Endpoints Show Reliability Issues During GHOST Web3 Bridge Testing
RockX RPC Endpoints Show Reliability Issues During GHOST Web3 Bridge Testing
馃 When RPCs Go Wild
The GHOST team discovered significant reliability issues while testing their pure web3 bridge implementation. RockX's RPC endpoints reported inconsistent block numbers compared to other providers, highlighting a persistent problem previously documented in GitHub.
This comes months after Bridgers introduced multi-RPC support for EVM networks, which was designed to prevent such reliability issues through:
- Instant switching between RPC endpoints
- Redundant access points
- Customizable endpoint selection
The findings raise concerns about RPC endpoint reliability in cross-chain operations and emphasize the importance of multiple provider support.
Epic fail @rockx_official! @chainlist_team The PRC Endpoints listed are not as reliable as previously thought: 馃敆 chainlist.org Read more 馃憞 馃У 1/3 1/3
