Is BazAR on fire to the point of collapse? The DumDumz NFT craze is essentially an AO stress test

Summary

Recently, the DumDumz NFT's overwhelming popularity caused the atomic asset trading platform BazAR to crash temporarily, highlighting the importance of stability and high concurrency for ecosystem projects on AO. Currently, various incubation pools and hackathons are emerging in the AO ecosystem to accelerate project development, providing financial support and a solid foundation for the growth of the ecosystem. We look forward to the explosion of the AO ecosystem, ushering in a new stage of technological maturity and seamless user experience!

At 00:00 on July 28 (UTC +8), DumDumz NFT launched its latest batch of NFTs at a price of 0.1984 $wAR per unit on the AO atomic asset trading platform BazAR. Within just two minutes of its release, BazAR crashed due to overwhelming demand, causing all gateways to be inaccessible and the website to be stuck on the loading screen for nearly 10 minutes.

Cause of BazAR Crash

Following the crash, DumDumz NFT founder CryptoCherie promptly contacted BazAR. According to BazAR team member nickj, the crash was not due to a DDoS attack but rather multiple high-traffic processes running simultaneously on the same CU on AO, leading to blockage. They are actively working with the AO team to transfer the UCM process to another CU for resolution, emphasizing that AO is still in the testnet phase and efforts are ongoing to improve network stability and scalability.

DumDumz NFT Hype as an AO Stress Test

Fortunately, the website was restored within 15 minutes. This incident sparked unprecedented discussion in the DumDumz NFT project Discord group, reflecting significant user interest in AO's first NFT project. The platform crash, instead of dampening enthusiasm, ignited curiosity and anticipation for DumDumz NFT across the AO ecosystem. By around 5 A.M. UTC +8, Arweave and AO Founder Sam Williams changed his Twitter avatar to a blue-skinned DumDumz NFT, signaling user enthusiasm and market potential. Several official team members and ecosystem KOLs have also changed their avatars to DumDumz.

However, the crash highlighted areas for improvement in BazAR and AO's handling of high concurrency. During the next batch release on July 29, the project encountered NFT data upload issues, causing delays. While the DumDumz NFT community showed support and understanding, the incident served as a wake-up call for BazAR and AO teams, providing valuable experience. BazAR needs to enhance stability and scalability, incorporating load balancing and fault tolerance mechanisms to ensure smooth operation under high concurrency. Various foundations and developer communities in the AO ecosystem are launching grants, incubation pools, and hackathons to accelerate project development and iterative optimization, providing financial support and a solid foundation for ecosystem projects. Multiple projects are currently under construction, and we look forward to the day when the AO ecosystem explodes, marking an era of technological maturity, excellent user experience, and diverse application scenarios!
