Transaction Latency Testing Tool

What is an Ecosystem Project Idea?

An Ecosystem Project Idea is an idea for a project that someone could build within the Optimism ecosystem. As opposed to an Ecosystem Concept or an Ecosystem Idea, an Ecosystem Project is generally more fleshed out and corresponds to a relatively clear product to be built.

Summary

Develop a latency testing tool for the OP Mainnet to track the dynamism of transaction latency. This tool would shed light on any issues impacting transaction inclusion times. If latency spikes, there might be network issues. Would be great to make as an open source tool that could also be provided as a public dashboard.

Possible Features

• Facilitate configuration of routes (RPCs).
• Enable the sending of various types of transactions at different intervals.
• Record response times for each transaction.
• Display a graph showcasing the correlation between transaction send times and response times.
• Allow configuration of multiple RPCs and highlight differences in latency between them.

Impact

• Provides invaluable data on the performance of OP Mainnet.
• Assists in identifying and addressing latency issues.
• Helps users and developers understand the implications of using different RPCs.
