State of the Network: June 2026

June 2026 State of the Network Report

This report provides an overview of the Swarm network’s key metrics for June 2026, including rewards, participation levels, and node distribution, and places them in context with recent monthly trends.

info
Active nodes are full nodes identified by a unique Gnosis Chain address with the required minimum staked xBZZ that have submitted a commit transaction during the month.
info
All rewards are denominated in xBZZ. Since the fiat value of xBZZ fluctuates monthly, these metrics may not reflect the real-world returns for node operators.

Total Active Staking Nodes by Country

Country Active Staking Nodes
Finland 1,304
Germany 257
Canada 53
Unknown 17
United States 7
Estonia 3
Cyprus 1
Guadeloupe 1
Ireland 1
Italy 1
Japan 1
Norway 1
South Korea 1
Ukraine 1

Active staking remained heavily concentrated in Finland, which hosted 1,304 of the 1,649 active nodes, followed by Germany (257) and Canada (53); every other country contributed fewer than ten nodes each.

Total Nodes By Country Regardless of Staking Status

Country Reachable Full Nodes
Germany 2,184
Finland 1,398
Canada 61
France 21
Hungary 11
United States 3
Czechia 2
Russia 2
Australia 1
Austria 1
Belgium 1
Brazil 1
Cyprus 1
Italy 1
Japan 1
Norway 1
Singapore 1
South Africa 1
South Korea 1

Reachable full nodes were led by Germany with 2,184 and Finland with 1,398, which together accounted for the large majority of the 3,693 total; Canada (61), France (21) and Hungary (11) followed, with all remaining countries hosting three or fewer nodes each.

Conclusion

In June, reward-related metrics rose across the board: total network rewards, median and average win values, and average earnings per active staking node all increased relative to May. Participation was mixed — the number of winning nodes rose slightly, while active staking nodes and total reachable full nodes both declined modestly. Geographically, active staking remained concentrated in Finland, while the broader population of reachable full nodes continued to be led by Germany, consistent with recent months.
