At ProbeLab, we just launched an ENR viewer! The tool allows to decode and inspect @ethereum.org Node Records. Inserting your ENR will give information about your node’s ID, public key, IP address, ports, and GeoIP, hosting provider. Check it out at: probelab.io/enr-viewer/.

We crawled the Monero P2P network and here's what we found: - 16,454 reachable nodes - 81.6% flagged as spy nodes - 80%+ running on a single cloud provider (Spruce Creek) Monero's transaction privacy is strong but its P2P layer tells a different story. Full methodology and data in: bit.ly/40BzFgh
