Shows, per day, how many epochs the tipset that an F3 instance finalizes is behind the consensus chain. For each instance, we take the time of the first DECIDE message that our Hermes GossipSub node sees and convert it to an epoch (30 seconds per epoch). The distance is this epoch minus the epoch of the newest tipset in the finalized chain. Instances for which we cannot find the tipset epoch are not shown.
Each day shows a bar consisting of the minimum, median, P90 (90th percentile) and maximum distance to the consensus chain across all finalized F3 instances in that particular day.
For example, a P50 (median) value of 9 means that 50% of finalized F3 instances during that day had a tipset distance to the consensus chain of 9 epochs or less. When you hover over a bar, you'll also see the total number of instances. If the time range includes 2026-03-08, an outlier day, the y-axis has a break.
