Awaiting node observations. Discovery coverage is not a census of the network.
World map colored by the dominant client implementation observed in each region.
Client identities are self-reported by observed peers.
The 12 most common client/version pairs, reported by peers.
Counts refer to observed active nodes. A version string is self-reported.

Reported software, location and the latest crawler measurements.
This page combines connections reported by our Zcash node with recent crawler responses that serve a known Zcash mainnet checkpoint header, deduplicated by IP address. Crawlers verify the header hash after the protocol handshake; a port or software name alone does not establish chain identity. Peer observations expire after 15 minutes; crawler handshakes and header checks expire after one hour. The header check establishes the chain through that checkpoint, not current sync status or independent validation of every block. This is the active network we observe, not a complete count of all nodes or independent operators. Client names and versions are self-reported. Local-peer inclusion relies on our node's connection report; those IPs have not necessarily passed the crawler header check.
DNS and gossiped addresses alone do not count as active. Graph links show fresh address advertisements from crawler sources with Zcash checkpoint proof; advertised targets are not independently verified active nodes or confirmed remote connections. Links disappear when their evidence expires. Derived connectivity scores remain unavailable. Average handshake time covers crawler verifications, not live-peer ping times.
Node locations are rounded to 1-degree precision to protect operator privacy. No IP addresses or exact coordinates are exposed. Tor classification identifies known exit IPs or hidden-service destinations; it does not count every Tor node or every connection routed through Tor. Unlocated IPs do not appear on the map.
