Having compared the addresses with the data from hosting providers, Chainstack experts found out that Ethereum network had 8933 nodes as of September 20. Only 3434 (38.4%) were deployed on their own infrastructure, while 5499 (61.6%) were hosted on cloud servers.

Thus, 10 largest hosting providers accounted for 57.3% nodes of the second-largest digital asset. The quarter of all Ethereum nodes are located on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Also, the research revealed that 34% of nodes are from the USA.
