Ping

Cloud-API and Go Gateway provide a WebSocket ping request that can be used to measure the latency from the endpoint and to keep the WebSocket connection alive.

bdnBlocks is a stream of all new blocks as they are propagated in the BDN. The blocks published in the bdnBlocks stream may include blocks that will not be accepted on chain. This stream offers significant performance speed over the newBlocks stream (from the Gateway or the node).

Service available on both Cloud API and Gateway-API.
