New release! Ponder 0.6.0 improves observability, simplifies self hosting, and updates to the latest version of Viem.

- New /ready endpoint
- Terminal UI improvements (req/s, latest block)
- Better ETA formula

Building ponder.sh. EVM, TypeScript, open-source enjoyer.

The new /ready endpoint returns an HTTP 200 response once the backfill is complete. It’s a great fit for a k8s readiness probe, or a healthcheck endpoint for less flexible environments like Railway.

The /health endpoint now returns 200 immediately (a good liveness probe).

The Viem peer dependency requirement is now `>=2`, which improves compatibility in monorepos.

Newer versions of Viem also include an address checksum cache, which will speed up some Ponder apps.

The terminal UI now displays the latest indexed block, RPC req/s, and status of each chain. This makes it easier to identify if your app is bottlenecked by RPC request throughput.

We also tweaked the ETA formula to be more accurate.
