May 1, 2025

May 2025 performance summary: Focused on provider cleanup, multi-chain expansion, and reliability across blockchain-api and yttrium. Removed outdated external providers (Lava, Infura RPC, GetBlock RPC) and Grafana SLA workspace to reduce risk and maintenance burden. Expanded RPC/provider coverage: added Sonic Mainnet/Testnet RPC, Solana RPC WebSocket, Sui chain RPC, Stacks RPC, extended providers for Celo, added Linea chain to dRPC/Publicnode and removed from Pokt, and tuned routing by lowering BSC chain priority. Improved reliability and observability: introduced BridgingError TransactionSimulationFailed variant; improved log taxonomy to distinguish server vs internal errors; properly handled initial transaction simulation error; updated CAIP-2 to names utility and updated yttrium library. Infrastructure/CI stabilization: updated RDS engine version in Terraform; temporarily disabled bundler functional test and CI chain abstraction tests to stabilize pipelines; domain branding updated from reown.com to reown.org. These changes reduce risk, accelerate onboarding of new chains, improve diagnostics, and strengthen performance and reliability for developers and end users.
