Node Uptime Metrics
Node uptime metrics represent the quantitative measurement of the percentage of time a validator node is operational and successfully communicating with the rest of the network. In the context of market microstructure, these metrics are vital for assessing the reliability of a derivative platform.
High uptime is required to ensure that orders are processed and that the state of the order book is accurately reflected. Traders rely on these metrics to evaluate the performance risk of the underlying protocol.
Low uptime can lead to missed opportunities, execution delays, and potential liquidation risks for users. Monitoring these metrics is a standard practice for professional infrastructure providers to ensure their nodes meet the performance standards set by the protocol.
