Who exactly do you think underpins most of Ethereum. It's mega corporations. [1] And decentralisation in crypto is in reality a myth when you have so many cent

  The article cites a tweet, which cites Ethernodes. According to that site, 63% of hosted nodes are run by Amazon, or about 39% of all nodes. The next largest host is Hetzner at 7% of hosted (far lower than it was a few months ago, because they announced they are no longer supporting Ethereum) which accounts for about 4% of all nodes. Not that surprising, since Amazon runs a huge percentage of all hosted compute in the world. Luckily, Amazon owning a large share of nodes doesn’t mean they own or can control Ethereum. But they certainly do pose a risk to the overall network security and health, and validation-at-home can and should continue to be made easier. https://ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting https://ethernodes.org/networkType/Hosting
