RVO Engineering Blog
RPC architecture, performance tuning, reliability, security, and lessons learned from operating blockchain infrastructure at scale.
Adding multiple RPC endpoints is easy. Designing a production-grade failover layer with health scoring, stale node detection, latency tracking, and circuit breaking is not. This article breaks down what it actually takes.
RPC performance issues rarely originate at the node itself. Latency, inconsistency, and failure are introduced across a chain of systems long before a request reaches a validator. This article traces a Web3 request end-to-end to show where delays accumulate, errors are masked, and reliability quietly degrades.
RVO’s roadmap is not a list of promised features. It’s a description of how decisions are made — and why focus matters more than velocity.
Most RPC benchmarks measure the wrong things. Average latency and request rates often hide degradation, throttling, and stale state that only appear under real load. This article explains how to benchmark RPC providers correctly—focusing on reliability, consistency, and behavior under stress, not just speed.
Most RPC outages don’t start with a clean failure. They begin with silent degradation—slower responses, stale data, and hidden latency spikes that traditional monitoring fails to detect. This article explains why degradation is more dangerous than downtime and how to recognize it before users feel the impact.
Performance claims are easy. Verifying them is hard. This article explains what verifiable performance actually means—and why Web3 infrastructure can no longer rely on trust alone.
Web3 infrastructure talks a lot about decentralization and performance, but very little about observability. This article explains why visibility is the missing layer—and why reliability without insight is an illusion.
Rate limits are often presented as a reliability feature. In practice, they frequently make outages worse. This article explains why static throttling fails under real traffic and what reliable RPC systems do instead.
Most RPC providers perform well in benchmarks — until real traffic hits. This article explains the hidden failure modes that appear under production load and why reliable RPC infrastructure requires more than raw throughput.
GDPR and Web3 are often seen as incompatible. In reality, the conflict lives in infrastructure, not decentralization. This article explains how RVO bridges that gap.
