The
Keepers.

Every Quai block lives on machines someone chose to run. Below is a live census of those nodes, and the roll of keepers who prove theirs: we check each one against the chain itself, with a Merkle state proof, every few minutes.

The upgrade wave

Versions as announced on the p2p network (libp2p identify), not self-reported. 23.4% of identified nodes run v0.56.1, the newest release seen.

The roll

Verified keepers only. Each one passed every check below in the last few minutes, including a state proof checked against the chain (◆ proof-verified). ✓ claimed means the keeper also signed with the node's own p2p key. Uptime is the share of our checks it passed over 30 days.

Become a keeper

Any go-quai node on mainnet can report here under any name. Pick a tag and a secret; the first login reserves the tag for that secret.

--node.quaistats "YourTag:a-secret-you-choose@quaination.xyz/keepers"
--rpc.http-addr 0.0.0.0 --rpc.http-vhosts '*'

Open TCP 9200 (Cyprus-1 RPC) to the internet, and port-forward it if you're behind a router. We verify you by calling it.
Custom RPC port? Put it in the path: @quaination.xyz/keepers/9300.
Know what you're opening. Port 9200 makes your node a public RPC: anyone can query it or send it transactions. go-quai exposes only the net, web3 and quai modules by default (no admin or wallet access).
Your p2p port must be reachable (default 4002) so the census can see your node.
Not showing up? Check your node's status with your tag and secret. Your node's own log only says Stats login failed.
On the roll? Claim your node by signing a challenge with its p2p key (one openssl command, the key never leaves your machine) to add the ✓ claimed badge.

How we verify, every time

Before we accept a single stat, and again every ~10 minutes plus at random times between:

01A real node lives at your IP. Our crawler must have found a live go-quai node on the Quai p2p network at the address your stats come from.
02Your RPC answers. We call your node's own RPC directly. Nothing you report is taken on faith.
03Your chain is the chain. Your head must be within 10 blocks of the canonical head, and your block a couple behind it must match the canonical block.
04Your numbers agree. The height in your stats, your RPC, and your p2p node must all line up on the same block.
05Your state is real. We ask for a quai_getProof Merkle proof of a random account and storage slots at that exact block, and verify it ourselves against the block's state root. A node can't fake one.

What this can't prove: CPU, RAM and disk are whatever your node says, so we label them self-reported and never rank them. The canonical chain comes from rpc.quai.network. A node that fails a check simply leaves the roll until it passes again; we never shame a failing node publicly.
