I raised this issue with prysmlabs but it’s not clear if it’s a bug at infura or not. 85% of the method calls I get on any time period are (blank).

Hi, I am running a validator on spadina and another on medalla on the same machi… ne. On Arch linux with these commands:
```
$ ps -ef | grep beacon-chain
user 233427 1 14 08:09 ? 00:26:22 /pathtodist/dist/beacon-chain-v1.0.0-alpha.26-linux-amd64 --datadir=/path-to/validator --http-web3provider=https://goerli.infura.io/v3/a2195faddressedited f --p2p-host-ip=myip --verbosity warn

```
And infura is showing a huge bandwitdh usage of blank method calls:
I am happy to provide you any logs if you want, but I guess this happened only because of the second instance running spadina (which I had to relaunch and delete the dbase several times) and that one is running in the foreground without any interesting logs to show. If you want I can resync and relaunch logging to a file but I'm not sure if it will recreate the issue. I'm posting here cause @nisdas asked on Discord
What is a (blank) mehtodcall?
Hi @potuz - welcome to the Infura community! The blank calls are bulk Eth1 calls the Eth2 client is making (i.e. these are batch requests from Prysm to our Eth1 Goerli endpoint).
