A post on Thursday shows that the three major cloud providers account for 69% of the nodes hosted on the Ethereum Mainnet, with more than 50% of them coming from Amazon Web Services (AWS), more than 15% from Hetzner, and 4.1% from OVH.
Figures from Ethernodes also show that Oracle (4.1%), Alibaba (3.9%), and Google (3.5%) host nodes.
While the distribution of cloud service providers becomes more decentralized among the bottom third of providers, Messari highlighted a concern in a December 2020 report that the cost nature of a high level of node infrastructure can make the blockchain vulnerable:
“Furthermore high costs to run infrastructure make it more likely that nodes would run infrastructure with cloud computing providers (i.e AWS) – making Ethereum more exposed to central points of failure.”
The node distribution problems Solana faced were similar, with Hetzner accounting for 42% of the nodes hosted on the Solana network, followed by OVH (26%) and AWS (3%).
Furthermore, Ethernode data also shows that the most geographically concentrated nodes are in the United States (46.4%) and Germany (13.4%), accounting for almost 60% of the globally distributed Ethereum nodes. world. As a result, government intervention from either of these countries could seriously affect the decentralization of Ethereum at the node level.
