Node Connectivity Metrics

Node connectivity metrics evaluate the health and robustness of a node's participation in a distributed network. These include the number of active peers, the latency of connections, and the reliability of message propagation.

High connectivity is essential for a node to stay synchronized with the network and to participate effectively in consensus. Poor connectivity can lead to delayed transaction processing, increased risk of stale blocks, and vulnerability to network attacks.

For institutional participants, monitoring these metrics is vital to ensure that their infrastructure is performing optimally and is resilient to disruptions. It provides a technical health check for the underlying systems that support decentralized financial activity.
