Mayoritas 4.653 aktifEthereum node berada di tangan penyedia web terpusat seperti Amazon Web Services (AWS), yang dapat “mengekspos Ethereum ke titik pusat kegagalan,” menurut platform analitik crypto Messari.
Sebuah posting hari Seninmenunjukkan bahwa tiga penyedia cloud utama menyumbang 69% node yang dihosting di Ethereum Mainnet, dengan lebih dari 50% di antaranya berasal dari Amazon Web Services (AWS), lebih dari 15% dari Hetzner dan 4,1% dari OVH.
Angka dari Ethernodes sebagai tambahanmenunjukkan bahwa Oracle (4,1%), Alibaba (3,9%) dan Google (3,5%) juga menyediakan layanan hosting web di Ethereum.

Sementara distribusi penyedia layanan cloud menjadi lebih terdesentralisasi di antara sepertiga penyedia terbawah, Messariditekan kekhawatiran dalam laporan Desember 2020 bahwa sifat infrastruktur node yang berbiaya tinggi dapat membuat Ethereum rentan:
“Biaya tinggi untuk menjalankan infrastruktur membuatnya lebih mungkin bahwa node akan menjalankan infrastruktur dengan penyedia cloud computing (yaitu AWS) - membuat Ethereum lebih terpapar ke titik pusat kegagalan.”
Masalah distribusi node yang dialami oleh Solana hampir sama, dengan Hetzner menggunakan 42% node yang dihosting di jaringan Solana, diikuti oleh OVH (26%) dan AWS (3%).

Selain itu, data Ethernode juga menunjukkan bahwa node paling terkonsentrasi secara geografis di Amerika Serikat (46,4%) dan Jerman (13,4%), terhitung hampir 60% dari node Ethereum yang didistribusikan di seluruh dunia. Dengan demikian, intervensi pemerintah dari salah satu dari dua negara ini dapat sangat berdampak pada desentralisasi Ethereum di tingkat node.
