pNode RPC
overview herrenberg introduces a remote procedure call (rpc) interface for pnodes, enabling external applications and smart contracts to interact directly with the storage layer unlike solana’s standard rpc, this interface is pnode specific , allowing queries for shard status, performance metrics, and designated prpc functions the rpc interface is fully integrated with xandeum web3 js , an extension of solana’s web3 js library developers can now invoke storage primitives directly from smart contracts, streamlining workflows for uploading, retrieving, or querying data within decentralized applications (sedapps) this functionality builds on munich’s pod monitor gui, which provided only visual analytics, by enabling programmatic access and integration with third party analytics tools the addition of rpc opens new possibilities for high performance storage applications, custom monitoring platforms, and dynamic staker analytics description the pnode rpc provides a standardized, programmatic interface for interacting with pnodes core capabilities include retrieving pnode status (uptime, storage usage, shard availability) accessing data shards for recovery or verification purposes invoking prpc specific functions for advanced queries by separating this interface from solana’s native rpc, herrenberg ensures queries are tailored to pnode operations while maintaining compatibility with web3 development workflows technical details integration with web3 js the rpc interface extends xandeum web3 js , allowing smart contracts and client applications to directly call storage primitives request handling rpc supports efficient processing of upload, retrieval, and query requests, minimizing latency and computational overhead extensibility developers can build custom analytics dashboards, monitoring tools, and high throughput sedapps that leverage real time pnode performance metrics security & access control rpc endpoints include authentication and rate limiting mechanisms to ensure safe and reliable operation across decentralized nodes improvements over munich programmatic access while munich provided basic analytics via the pod monitor gui, herrenberg exposes pnode metrics via rpc, enabling automated queries and third party integrations enhanced developer workflows integration with web3 js reduces friction for sedapp development, supporting direct interaction with storage primitives from smart contracts real time monitoring developers and stakers can now monitor pnode health and storage performance programmatically, supporting optimized xand staking strategies impact the pnode rpc empowers developers to create high performance storage applications , such as decentralized file sharing systems, research hubs, and collaborative content platforms stakers gain programmatic access to pnode metrics (e g , uptime, storage efficiency), enabling data driven decisions for xand staking rewards community participation is encouraged, with plans for a collaborative analytics dashboard on xandeum network, providing shared visibility into network performance and fostering transparency across the ecosystem rpc api reference docid 1piqkxdlilnf5tiryzksd what's new in herrenberg docid\ xxvyhay2ppab5dpodsupl
