Uptime blockchain — EOS vs Solana

Uptime blockchain — EOS vs Solana

Welcome to Hoken Tech


When we operate with blockchains, one of the interesting aspects to understand and understand if a blockchain is reliable, is certainly to understand and know what its uptime value is, or in Italian, the percentage of times that the blockchain has operated without suffering blocks or problems of various kinds, where a blockchain that does not present any problems on it will have a value of 100%, while another with some problems will have a lower value.


Uptime is a value that allows us to understand on the fly whether that particular blockchain is reliable or not, as in the event of problems, our transactions will not be processed precisely due to a problem or blocking of the same, and therefore that blockchain would be better not to use it.


To control this parameter we usually find the Uptime item in some dedicated site or a submenu of some block explorer just to make it easy for all users to access. Still, it can also be deduced by making a daily history of all transactions and seeing on which day no transactions were processed, precisely in correspondence with any problems.


In this case, we will compare and identify the uptime of some blockchains, such as EOS and Solana (SOL), and we will compare the final result also with the Bitcoin blockchain t understand and see which blockchain is more reliable with on-chain, and therefore mathematically certain without external or subjective influences.


EOS vs Solana


First, we have to retrieve the data from the related blockchains, and in the case of Solana, we have a handy tool that allows us to identify the uptime month by month, which can be reached at this address.


As for EOS, however, we need to retrieve the transaction history, and to do so Hoken Tech once again asked the help of Andy Betsworth of EOS Titan, to obtain the record of the various transactions that served as a basis for building the model graphic.


At this point, by sorting all the data in a spreadsheet, we can obtain and extract several graphs from that data, and the result is quite surprising and shows us how EOS has an uptime of 100%:

Especially in the second graph, we can see the uptime curve falling to lower values, clearly and simply showing the reliability of both the EOS blockchain and the Solana blockchain.


EOS vs Solana vs Bitcoin


Truly surprising data, and at this point it would also be interesting to see the data comparing them with the queen of blockchains that is Bitcoin and to summarily and mathematically understand how it performs compared to the latter.


Here too we find several tools that allow us to easily identify Bitcoin uptime, such as this address, and with that data, we can build another visual model to make this value intuitive for everyone:

Now the graph is clear to everyone and we can see how EOS scores a 100% uptime score, while in second place is Bitcoin, with an uptime of 99%, while Solana is in third place with an uptime value equal to 96%, destroying mathematically the lie said by one of the founders of Solana, that stated that Solana has the “Highest number of uninterrupted transactions”:

Uptime conclusions


Thanks to this value we have understood several things, such as, for example, the reliability of a blockchain can be demonstrated mathematically, and not subjectively, and therefore mathematically we can say that the EOS blockchain has an uptime of 100%, and in addition, we have seen as there are several blockchains that despite having a high value per single token, have problems on the blockchain that at times have even led them to pause them from their creators, as happened for the “decentralized” blockchain of Binance Smart Chain (BSC).
