At the beginning of February, Ankr https://thenewstack.io/ankr-expands-its-blockchain-node-infrastructure-globally/ with Maxihost to expand https://thenewstack.io/as-blockchain-hype-fades-developers-give-ethereum-a-serious-look/ Nodes into more countries as part of an effort to decentralize nodes. If you’re building a decentralized app (dApp) for a market that is primarily outside the U.S. , that means most of the node infrastructure is nowhere near your users.
