These days, Diana's focus is the B2C, SaaS, AI, and HR tech scenes. She loves making messages feel personal and giving brands a genuine voice, even in spaces where it seems hard to find. Diana also writes about travel and the joys of living with pets. Her work has appeared in many major websites and magazines, including Yahoo!, National Geographic, Business Insider, Forbes, and more. When she’s not glued to her laptop writing, you’ll likely find her immersed in photography, nose-training (and competing) with her dog, or engaged in animal rescue and fundraising.

validator node in blockchain networks that use proof-of-stake (PoS) or similar consensus mechanism, even a <strong>downtime of just a few minutes can mean a significant loss of earnings</strong>. </span></p> <p>As a responsible validator, it’s your main responsibility to <strong>maintain the highest uptime of your node</strong> possible to ensure that:</p> <ol> <li>You don’t get slashed (penalized)</li> <li>Users who stake with you don’t lose tokens</li> </ol> <p>You can also showcase your uptime through a <a href="https://uptimerobot.com/status-page/?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=blockchain-monitoring&utm_content=intro">public status page</a> that will show everyone that you are a reliable node operator.</p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this article, we aim to examine the </span><b>best practices for monitoring your nodes and demon apps</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">. A reliable uptime monitoring service helps to improve the stability of the whole blockchain and minimizes losses that can occur during unexpected downtimes. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s take a detailed look at why you should care about blockchain node monitoring and how to achieve the best results using the UptimeRobot monitoring tool. </span></p> <h2>Why is blockchain node monitoring important?</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blockchain networks thrive on the principles of transparency, decentralization, and immutability. For participants and stakeholders, the integrity and performance of blockchain nodes are non-negotiable. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Effective monitoring serves as the backbone of these systems, enabling sustained functionality and providing insights into optimization opportunities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The main reasons why you should keep an eye on your node are: </span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Preventing earnings loss</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Each minute your node is down, potential earnings vanish. Nodes that are offline fail to validate transactions or participate in the creation of new blocks. For validators, this directly translates to a loss of transaction fees and rewards.</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Maintaining network health and security</b><span style="font-weight: 400;">: Your node’s uptime directly impacts the blockchain’s resilience and trustworthiness. Effective monitoring ensures that your node contributes positively to the network, upholding both its performance and security.</span></li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Block creation and timely transaction processing</strong>: Validators with consistent uptime can create new blocks and process transactions without delay.</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Preventing penalties</strong>: In a PoS system, validators stake their own coins as collateral to partake in the consensus process. Many protocols have implemented slashing mechanisms, where the staked tokens are at risk of being reduced if the validator node goes offline or acts maliciously. High uptime minimizes the risk of you being slashed.</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Attracting more delegators</strong>: It’s important to showcase your reliability and maintain a reputation to show everyone they can contribute their tokens to your stake pool, increasing potential rewards for you as a validator.</li> </ul> <p>Thanks to reliable <a href="https://uptimerobot.com/?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=blockchain-monitoring&utm_content=benefits">uptime monitoring</a> you’ll be able to jump on any issues immediately when they arise thanks to live alerts.</p> <h2>How to monitor your nodes with UptimeRobot</h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Most blockchains use chain validators that operate daemons on their nodes for transaction confirmations, and blocks rely on network communication through specific ports. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These daemons are essentially software programs running in the background, listening for transactions and blocks to validate. They play a critical role in maintaining the blockchain’s integrity and security by ensuring all transactions and blocks adhere to the network’s rules before being added to the blockchain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Here’s a simplified breakdown of how it works:</span></p> <h3>1. Communication through ports</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Blockchain daemons communicate over the network using designated ports. These ports allow data transmission between nodes, facilitating the process of transaction and block validation. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Validators must ensure these ports are open and accessible for communication, but at the same time, secured against unauthorized access.</span></p> <h3>2. Transaction broadcasting</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When a new transaction is created, it’s broadcast to the network. The daemon, through the open port, receives this transaction and begins the validation process according to the predefined rules of the blockchain.</span></p> <h3>3. Block proposal and validation</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Periodically, a new block containing several transactions is proposed to be added to the blockchain. Validators’ daemons then work to confirm the validity of the block and its transactions. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This may involve cryptographic checks, verifying identities, and making sure no double-spending has occurred.</span></p> <h3>4. Consensus Mechanism</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For a block to be added to the blockchain, validators have to reach a consensus. This process varies between blockchains (Proof of Work, Proof of Stake, etc.), but ultimately it ensures only valid blocks are added to the chain.</span></p> <h3>5. Network Synchronization</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once a block is validated and added to the blockchain, the update is propagated across the network. Validators’ daemons synchronize with each other to update their local copies of the blockchain, providing consistency and reliability across the network.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">UptimeRobot allows you to continually ping these servers or ports, making sure they’re accessible all the time. The shorter monitoring intervals you use, the better the chances that you’ll notice any incidents before the losses grow. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">By receiving live alerts from up to 16 notification channels including e-mail, SMS, Voice call, push notifications, or third-party native integrations like Telegram, Discord, Slack, PagerDuty, Splunk On-Call, Zapier, MS Teams, Google Chat, Pushbullet, Pushover, or webhooks, you’ll be able to jump on the solution right away. </span></p> <h3>Set up free port and IP monitoring</h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">UptimeRobot is a cloud-based uptime monitoring solution, meaning that whatever happens to your server, you’ll receive an alert about the issue. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The free plan allows you to <strong>send requests to any publicly available IP address or port every 5 minutes</strong>, but as mentioned before, we recommend using the shortest intervals possible to minimize the damage. </span></p> <p style="text-align: center;">Get 1-minute Monitoring Intervals for just $7.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><a class="button" href="https://uptimerobot.com/signUp?utm_source=uptimerobot.com&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=blockchain-node-validator&utm_content=uptimerobot">Update Now</a></p> <ol> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;"> If you don’t have a UptimeRobot account, create one using just your email address for free.
