Not so decentralized? Ethereum-based apps may not be so decentralized after all, as the nodes that run them remain in the hands of a few centralized servers.
nodes are in the hands of centralized web providers like Amazon Web Services , which could “expose Ethereum to central points of failure,” according to crypto analytics platform Messari.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 , over 15% from Hetzner and 4.1% from OVH.that Oracle , Alibaba and Google also provide web hosting services on Ethereum.
“High costs to run infrastructure make it more likely that nodes would run infrastructure with cloud computing providers - making Ethereum more exposed to central points of failure.” Node distribution issues experienced by Solana are much the same, with Hetzner taking up 42% of hosted nodes on the Solana network, followed by OVH and AWS .Furthermore, Ethernode data also shows that nodes are most geographically concentrated in the United States and Germany , accounting for nearly 60% of distributed Ethereum nodes worldwide. As such, government intervention from one of these two countries could severely impact Ethereum’s decentralization at the node level.
