Insight Reduced Block Lag

We've made some exciting improvements to the indexing pipeline of Insight and have managed to reduce the block lag by up to 80%!

What is block lag? - Each block included in the blockchain has a timestamp of when it was constructed. Block lag, in the case of Insight, shows the difference between the block timestamp and when it is queryable via the Insight API.

For example, on Base we were able to the block lag from around 18 seconds on average to around 5 seconds on average.

On Donatuz, we were able to reduce the block lag from an average of 15 seconds to under 2 seconds consistently!

These are just a few examples, but we have applied these optimizations to all the chains Insight supports and we will be continuing work on improving Insight all around.
