Topology

discv5 DHT

Key metrics on network structure, geographic peer distribution, client diversity, and connection patterns across the Ethereum network. All metrics in this section refer to the Consensus Layer discv5 DHT.

Geographic Distribution

Node IP address to country mapping, based on data sourced from https://ipregistry.co/.

Country Distribution (24h)

Country Distribution (24h)

This world map visualizes the geographic distribution of network nodes based on IP geolocation data. Each country is color-coded according to the number of dialable peers detected in the last 24 hours. This helps assess network decentralization and identifies regions with high node concentration. Note that nodes behind NAT cannot be measured and geographic data may not be fully accurate due to VPNs or proxy usage.

Geolocation Over Time

DHT Server geolocation per agent version over time

Countries Distribution (24h)

Snapshot of active agents geolocation within the last 24hrs

Agent Version Distributions

Network structure representation through client and agent distribution.

Client Diversity Trend

Client Diversity Trend

Shows the evolution of different user agent types (client software) participating in the network, over time.

Each agent type represents a different implementation and and indicates its relative prevalence within the network for the given reporting period. This chart helps track software diversity, adoption of new client versions, and overall network health, in terms of active nodes in the network.

The Unknown category represents nodes where the agent version could not be retrieved through the libp2p identify protocol. This situation can occur due to various reasons, such as the node terminating the connection before completing the full protocol negotiation.

Client participation over time

Active Agents Distribution (24h)

Snapshot of active agents within the last 24hrs

Agent Versions Trend

Agent version participation over time

Agent Version Distribution (24h)

Snapshot of versions active per agent within the last 24hrs

Protocols & Infrastructure

Key metrics on supported protocols per agent version, as well as intrastructure providers.

Quic Support Over Time

Quic Support Over Time

Tracks the adoption of QUIC protocol support across different client implementations, over time. QUIC provides improved performance, security, and connection reliability compared to traditional TCP. This chart shows which client types support QUIC and how adoption evolves, helping assess the network's transition to more efficient transport protocols.

Count of nodes that support QUIC per agent version

Cloud Provider Dependency Over Time

Count of nodes deployed per cloud provider and per agent

Supported Protocols Over Time

Count of nodes support per protocol

Attestation Subnet Subscription Distribution (24h)

Attestation Subnet Subscription Distribution (24h)

This graph shows the distribution of attestation network subscriptions by agent type. It shows you how many nodes running a certain client implementation are subscribed to a specific number of attestation networks. The numbers that are show here show the average subscriptions during the latest 24h time window. Over the course of 24 hours we perform multiple crawls of the discv5 DHT and this graph shows the average distribution across the crawls.
