Hi @StakePool thanks for your feedback in the other thread! Let’s continue the conversation here.
I agree that it’s important that validators start using it. There are strong network effects: The more validators contribute data, the more valuable it will be for everyone. The installation of the Metrics node itself should be very easy, in any case MUCH easier than setting up Bor and Heimdall. As a second point, I think the Polygon team and official docs play a large role in the adoption: If docs and the people onboarding validators instruct and encourage people to run a Metrics node, then I believe people will happily do it.
Just to provide an update to you and others reading this, my next steps are:
- Build a proof-of-concept (POC) implementation, hopefully ready by the end of this week
- Gather feedback and organize a demo session (maybe as part of the Polygon Builder Sessions)
- Submit the formal PIP in Github
