📊 Chain Reliability Score #65
Description
📌 Overview
Merchants and developers need to evaluate blockchain networks not only by cost but also by stability and reliability. Without structured metrics, selecting the optimal chain for transactions is challenging.
This task introduces a Chain Reliability Score, combining stability and gas cost to rank chains and provide a public leaderboard endpoint for reference.
🎯 Objective
Build a system that:
- Calculates reliability scores for supported chains based on stability and gas cost
- Maintains a historical record of chain performance
- Exposes a public leaderboard endpoint for developers and merchants
- Enables informed chain selection for optimal transaction execution
🛠 Scope of Work
1️⃣ Data Collection
-
Track per-chain metrics including:
- Transaction success rate (from Transaction Success Rate Metric)
- Average gas price
- Network congestion or latency
- Historical trends over configurable time windows (daily, weekly, monthly)
-
Normalize metrics to ensure comparability across chains
2️⃣ Reliability Score Calculation
-
Compute composite reliability score using weighted factors:
ReliabilityScore = w1 * SuccessRate + w2 * (1 / AvgGasPrice) + w3 * StabilityFactor -
Configurable weights (
w1,w2,w3) for tuning the importance of each metric -
Score scaled to 0–100 for consistency
3️⃣ Leaderboard Endpoint
-
Public API endpoint to retrieve chain rankings:
GET /leaderboard/chain-reliability?period=<daily|weekly|monthly> -
JSON response example:
{
"period": "2026-02",
"chains": [
{ "chainId": 1, "chainName": "Ethereum", "score": 92.5 },
{ "chainId": 56, "chainName": "BSC", "score": 88.1 },
{ "chainId": 137, "chainName": "Polygon", "score": 84.3 }
]
