> Ethereum and Bitcoin are the only chains with high number of nodes.

Am I looking at the correct source here? [1] It says 2997. This is lower than the total number of Cardano staking (validating) pools, which is currently 3135 [2].

Ethernodes.org crawler isn’t capturing all the nodes, but supposedly it’s either getting updated or a new one is coming out that should see all of them.

Seems like it’s about 6000 according to geth dev:

There’s also about 4600 eth2 nodes:

I don't believe there are that many nodes. Those may not be full validating/archival nodes.

Contrary to the misinformation spread by a certain community, “full nodes” in Ethereum are fully validating.
