Amsterdam accounts for 19.4% of Solana block production

  • —Amsterdam accounts for 19.4% of Solana block production, the Netherlands 19.6%
  • —AMS-IX links more than 900 networks, providing low-latency connectivity
  • —Latency is about 28 ms under 500 km and up to 122 ms beyond 8,000 km
  • —Only Frankfurt ranks higher than Amsterdam in block production share
Why it matters: Concentration of validators in a single city increases the network's reliance on local infrastructure and outage risk.
