Ethereum - How Many Solo Stakers?
Ethereum has the highest validator count compared to any other blockchain.Source: stakers.info (from last year)(Note: above is outdated, this is from last year and no longer maintained, its to show a comparison that always bugged me, the leader board would look similar today but the actual validator count is below) However, these metrics can be misleading; the highest validator count does not imply the most decentralized network. There are other factors to consider such as geographic distribu...
