Replacing dshackle

I wasn’t happy with how dshackle handles RPC endpoint health checks, so I built my own proxy/load balancer:

👉 https://github.com/project-aethermesh/aetherlay 🚀

No more wasted credits 💸 on chains where you're still using Alchemy, Infura, or any other third-party provider. With aetherlay, you can:

  • Configure multiple chains and providers
  • Set your own health check intervals
  • Avoid code-level workarounds when an endpoint fails

The cherry on top of the cake: Want to save even more on your monthly bill? You can disable continuous checks entirely, aetherlay will only run on-demand health checks when needed. Full details in the docs 🧐

Lots of improvements are already in the pipeline, so star the repo ⭐ and watch for updates 👀
