We’ve built pipelines to quantify the “power by agent” distribution in the network and the Storage Provider geolocation.

This enabled us to be the first ones to identify protocol behaviour details, such as, the number of duplicate messages received by nodes, the bandwidth requirement of Filecoin nodes, the proportion of bandwidth spent on each of the Gossipsub topics, and more.

In particular, our tool Hermes, has been extended to support the Filecoin netwok and act as a light node in the Filecoin Gossipsub network.

Lately, we’ve created new tools (or adapted existing ones) to monitor the network in much greater detail and provide to the community insights that no one else was previously able to do.
