Proposal 134260
TLDR: This is a great proposal, I’ll vote to adopt. This subnet is currently in violation of the IC Target Topology (3 nodes in one country). Once this proposal executes there will be no more than 2 nodes per country. See ‘Decentralisation Stats’ and the map below for more info.
Motivation:
- replacing node s52il-lowsg-eip4y-pt5lv-sbdpb-vg4gg-4iasu-egajp-yluji-znfz3-2qe to optimize network topology
- replacing node cjiry-m7wev-s6adg-3oqev-2g74r-wmtlj-ttdbj-abwts-rtwlj-6lxts-dqe to optimize network topology
2 removed nodes in Switzerland and the US replaced with 2 nodes in Poland and South Africa.
Decentralisation Stats
Subnet node distance stats (distance between any 2 nodes in the subnet) →
| Smallest Distance | Average Distance | Largest Distance | |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 0 km | 6087.179 km | 15986.483 km |
| PROPOSED | 95.554 km (+∞%) | 6375.803 km (+4.7%) | 15986.483 km |
This proposal increases decentralisation, considered purely in terms of geographic distance (and therefore there’s a slight theoretical increase in localised disaster resilience). 
Subnet characteristic counts →
| Continents | Countries | Data Centers | Owners | Node Providers | Node Operator | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 3 | 9 | 13 | 13 | 13 | 13 |
| PROPOSED | 4 (+25%) | 11 (+18.2%) | 13 | 13 | 13 | 13 |
This proposal improves decentralisation in terms of jurisdiction diversity.
Largest number of nodes with the same characteristic (e.g. continent, country, data center, etc.) →
| Continent | Country | Data Center | Owner | Node Provider | Node Operator | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| EXISTING | 7 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| PROPOSED | 7 | 2 (-33.33%) | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |

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)
