Ethereum dev addresses node centralization concerns in runup to the Merge

Ethereum is a few weeks away from officially moving to a proof-of-stake (PoS) mining consensus from its current proof-of-work (PoW) one. The transition officially dubbed the Merge is slated for Sept. 15, but in the run-up to the major upgrade, Ethereum node centralization has become a hot topic.

As Cointelegraph reported last week, the majority of 4,653 active Ethereum nodes are being run through centralized web providers like Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) Web Services (AWS), which experts believe could expose the Ethereum blockchain to the central point of failure post Merge.
