Subnet Management - o3ow2 (Application)

Proposal 132146

TLDR: Offline node in Switzerland replaced with one in the Netherlands. This looks good, however a few points I’d like some clarity on before voting (same as quoted below).

Decentralisation Stats

Subnet node distance stats (distance between any 2 nodes in the subnet) →

Smallest Distance Average Distance Largest Distance
EXISTING 476.293 km 8783.597 km 19445.845 km
PROPOSED 173.657 km (-63.5%) 8790.029 km (+0.1%) 19445.845 km

This proposal locally decreases decentralisation while on average improves decentralisation, considered purely in terms of geographic distance.

Subnet characteristic counts →

Continents Countries Data Centers Owners Node Providers
EXISTING 5 13 13 13 13
PROPOSED 5 13 13 13 13

Largest number of nodes with the same characteristic (e.g. continent, country, data center, etc.) →

Continent Country Data Center Owner Node Provider
EXISTING 4 1 1 1 1
PROPOSED 4 1 1 1 1

See here for acceptable limits → Motion 125549 (note that these are due for a slight revision)

The above subnet information is illustrated below, followed by a node reference table:

Map Description
  • Red marker represents a removed node (transparent center for overlap visibility)
  • Green marker represents an added node
  • Blue marker represents an unchanged node
  • Highlighted patches represent the country the above nodes sit within (red if the country is removed, green if added, otherwise grey)
  • Light grey markers with yellow borders are examples of unassigned nodes that would be viable candidates for joining the subnet according to formal decentralisation coefficients (so this proposal can be viewed in the context of alternative solutions that are not being used)

Known Neurons to follow if you're too busy to keep on top of things like this

If you found this analysis helpful and would like to follow the vote of the LORIMER known neuron in the future, consider configuring LORIMER as a followee for the Subnet Management topic.

Other good neurons to follow:

  • CodeGov (will soon be committed to actively reviewing and voting on Subnet Management proposals based on those reviews)

  • WaterNeuron (the WaterNeuron DAO frequently discuss proposals like this in order to vote responsibly based on DAO consensus)
