CoinMeta data: According to Bitwise, the staking network of Solana shows significant geographical concentration, with 72.8% of the staked SOL allocated to validators operating in Europe. The report indicates that North American validators account for 16.2%, Asia for 10.6%, and South America for only 0.4%. In addition, Bitwise also analyzed the decision by Solana developers to shorten the block production interval, which may pose new performance challenges for validators located far from the main network centers.
