A key hub metric we are laser focussed on improving is sync health. We have about 800-1000 running hubs at any given time. Sync health is the % of these hubs that are fully caught up with the network. Our goal is to get to 99% sync health, and @wazzymandias.eth is leading this effort.

Hubs fall behind for a variety of reasons - slow hardware, machine restarts, rate limits when talking to ethereum nodes etc. Last week we shipped an improvement to sync that let hubs catch up much more quickly. This improved sync health from ~85% to 95%.

Our focus is now on debugging the last 5%. A likely culprit is sync with Ethereum. It's possible that some hubs are running into rate limits when talking to RPC providers. We're tracking this down and trying to move the sync rate up as quickly as possible.

maybe stupid question but can a hub be ran on raspberry pi also?
