Cambridge Study: 31% of Ethereum node activity is in the United States; with one-third of nodes going offline, finality at the network level can be disrupted.

Abstract generation in progress
Deep Tide TechFlow message: On July 11, according to The Block, the latest report from the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance (CCAF) titled “The Merged Ethereum” shows that about 31% of Ethereum node activity is in the United States, while 39% is distributed across the European Union (excluding the UK), forming an overall Western-centralized pattern. The report points out that the Ethereum network has potential centralization risks—node activity is highly concentrated among three hosting providers: Hetzner, AWS, and OVH. If more than one-third of validators go offline at the same time, the network’s checkpoints will stop finalization. In addition, the report re-calculates Ethereum’s energy consumption: after the merge, annual electricity usage is about 7.9 GWh, down by approximately 99.98% compared with before the merge. Its share of sustainable energy is over 56%, and the cost required to offset its annual carbon emissions is only about $33.5k to $73.8k.
