Decentralization

​

What you see

• Map view with pins per node/validator. Popovers include moniker, provider, location, and (when available) IP.
• Stats: Total Nodes, Countries, Providers.
• Charts:
  • Nodes by Country — Which jurisdictions host the most nodes.
  • Nodes by Provider — Cloud/DC concentration.
• Node List table with Moniker, Region, Country, City, Provider and filters.

​

Why decentralization matters

• Jurisdictional risk: Excess concentration in a single country increases correlated regulatory or outage risk.
• Single‑provider risk: Heavy reliance on one provider (e.g., a large cloud) creates common‑mode failure exposure.
• Routing & latency: Global spread can improve propagation and proposer timing stability.

​

Practical analysis

• Filter by provider to check for outsized dependence (e.g., a single hyperscaler).
• Inspect country distribution before onboarding more validators or recommending infra choices to delegators.
• Use the table to verify operator diversity (regional mix, providers, and cities).
