3 cloud providers accounting for over two-thirds of Ethereum nodes: Data
The majority of 4,653 active Ethereum nodes are in the hands of centralized web providers like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS), which could “expose Ethereum to central points of failure,” according to crypto analytics platform Messari.
A Monday post shows that three major cloud providers account for 69% of hosted nodes on the Ethereum Mainnet, with over 50% of that coming from Amazon Web Services (AWS), over 15% from Hetzner and 4.1% from OVH.
