Announcing Nodus - one place for Light API servers

General

Hey everyone!

I’d like to announce a project I’ve been working on for the last few months. I briefly mentioned it in another thread earlier, but I’ve since polished all the core features, and it’s finally ready for a wider release!

In short, the tool tracks active ZEC light API nodes (LightwalletD and Zaino). Here is what it can do:

  • Monitors performance: Keeps track of node uptime and gathers useful statistics.

  • Sends alerts: Notifies you about node issues (which is especially handy for node operators).

  • Provides an API: You can integrate it into any ZEC-based application to automatically request the most reliable, available servers for your app to use.

Right now, the API only has one basic method, but I plan to add new methods and improve the existing ones based on your feedback and requests.

You can check it out here:

Very useful, I use it once a day to check my nodes.

How does the subscription work? How can I receive events using telegram?

Hi!

You can subscribe to node online events two ways:

  • Using Telegram bot link from the first message, open Telegram MiniApp
  • Using web browser, but login using your Telegram account (/pin command to the bot)

Then tap/click on a node in table and on node page there’s “subscribe” / “unsubscribe” button.

You will receive notifications (messages) inside this bot :+1:

It works! Tonight my nodes were offline for a couple of minutes and this morning I found telegram notifications for status changes. Very useful, thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’ve just added more language support to the Nodus! Huge thanks to Gemini Pro for the assist with the translations. It’s great to see Nodus reaching more people every day.

Also, a big shout-out to the first donor! I don’t know who you are, but thank you so much for the contribution. It’s a massive help - it actually covers the server for the next 2 or 3 months!
