Ever wondered where Ethereum actually lives? This real-time heatmap shows the global topology of Ethereum nodes, and it's gorgeous. Here’s what this tells us about Ethereum👇

1/ Each bright dot is a node in the Ethereum network. The redder the area, the higher the density of active nodes, validators, clients. Green dots represent nodes that have been online recently and found by Ulisse. This is what global decentralization actually looks like.

2/ The U.S. and Germany are still leading in node density. But there’s strong presence across Netherlands, France, UK, Switzerland too. Asia is growing steadily, especially Singapore, Japan, and India.

3/ It’s not all concentrated in the Global North. You can see Ethereum nodes active across Brazil, South Africa, Australia, and in places like Nigeria and Kenya - where internet infrastructure isn't always ideal. That’s a sign of Ethereum’s truly global reach.

4/ Why does this matter? Ethereum’s power comes from the global community behind it. The more countries, cultures, and jurisdictions it spans, the more resilient and unstoppable it becomes. We do believe that this is more than ideology, it’s the foundation of a new era.

5/ Tools like Ulisse, deserve a huge shoutout for this. Thanks to their work, we can see the Ethereum network in action, not just operate within it. Source:
