The European country has a 22.8% share of all Ethereum nodes. However, the United States leads the way with 45.3%. Both countries operate more than half of the entire Ethereum ecosystem, given the need for optimum decentralization.
According to the report, geographic decentralization means a lot for the overall decentralization of a network. Also in the report, experts underline that the risk of censoring or controlling transactions will be very high where only a few countries dominate the validating nodes.
As you know from Kriptokoin.com, the mission of the leading altcoin Ethereum is to be the world’s leading smart contracts computer. However, when verification is in the hands of a few players, this will be extremely difficult to do. On the other hand, the numbers have been increasing since last year. The percentage share of Ethereum validators in the US was 36.92% in 2021, while Germany’s share was 21.16%. Despite the continuous growth of the network, the density of validators still seems to be higher in certain regions.
