15th Meeting: Monday JUNE 8th 3:00 - 4:00pm UTC

Updates:

Registry not just useful for verifying chain identity. It’s also useful to bootstrap new nodes. Especially automated deployment of new nodes.

version number, binary location, genesis may seem superfluous but are important if you want to run a node (nowhere else to get all this info in one place)
maybe home directory is a bit much
take everything from Sunny’s tm-network json
Denominations, fee denoms
Faucet URLs (for testsnets)
ETH TokenLists for Cosmos is needed too

Best approaches for crawling the network, check if nodes are really active

Some tools are already out built by the community
Adam: relatively easy to get blacklisted by nodes on the P2P port
26656 is usually the only port exposed. security reasons
26657 usually not exposed because easily DoSed, but useful for any browser/webapp that needs to query stuff
9090 GRPC mostly used for backends querying nodes, but needs batched requests
having a list of 5-6 publicly (i think he means all available ports?) available nodes really helps for ux.
Sunny really wants batched RPC requests on 9090, similar to GraphQL would be super useful, since for osmosis a lot of requests are necessary.
