Shido Infrastructure Upgrade: New Full Metal Nodes Live
Shido Infrastructure Upgrade: New Full Metal Nodes Live
🔧 Metal Nodes Just Dropped
Shido Network has completed a significant infrastructure upgrade by implementing new full metal nodes. The upgrade delivers:
- Enhanced network performance and stability
- New archive nodes providing stable endpoints
- Improved reliability for network interactions
Key Endpoints:
- RPC, REST, and EVM RPC services now available through dedicated mainnet archive load balancer
This upgrade builds on October's RPC enhancement and demonstrates Shido's ongoing commitment to robust infrastructure development.
Note: Always verify endpoints through official Shido channels.
Infrastructure Development Assumptions Shape Web3's Future
Infrastructure development requires making key assumptions about future ecosystem needs. These include: - Gas optimization work assumes more complex dapps will emerge as costs decrease - WebSocket infrastructure development anticipates real-time interactions becoming standard - Security enhancements are built expecting more sophisticated attack vectors These infrastructure choices represent strategic bets on the ecosystem's direction. However, there's ongoing debate about whether infrastructure should be more closely aligned with current application builder needs rather than speculative future requirements.
Testing Philosophy: Balancing Speed and Safety
Our development approach prioritizes thorough testing while acknowledging user demand for rapid feature deployment. Key principles: - Test extensively until the process becomes routine - Launch only when upgrades feel like a natural progression - Focus excitement on features, not deployment - Maintain rigorous testing standards regardless of pressure This methodology reflects our commitment to delivering stable, reliable updates without compromising system integrity.
Shido Gateway: New Cross-Chain Bridge Connecting Multiple Networks
**Shido Gateway**, a new trustless cross-chain bridge, will connect Shido Network with Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon. Key features: - Initial support for USDT and USDC stablecoins - Trustless bridge smart contracts with 95% audit score - Real-time monitoring and automatic failsafes - Currently live on testnet The bridge aims to provide frictionless asset transfers and enhance DeFi liquidity across networks. Built by Shido Foundation and powered by Wanchain, the project is preparing for mainnet launch following community stress testing. *Previously announced Router Nitro integration enables connections to 30+ EVM chains with USDT and WETH minting capabilities.*
