What is Pyroscope and Alloy for TON blockchain?

Pyroscope profiles continuously; Alloy collects via eBPF. Together, they mapped TON validation hotspots like cell hashing without code changes.

How do I set up Pyroscope with Alloy?

Minimal config: pyroscope.ebpf + write blocks, sudo run. Points to Grafana Cloud or local. Symbols via RelWithDebInfo builds.

Yes — low overhead, system-wide, no restarts. Ideal for crypto-heavy workloads like TON or Ethereum.
