Does it matter where my nodes are located?

Yes. Ankr Network geo-routes traffic to the lowest latency nodes, meaning nodes in one region are more likely to serve traffic from that region. This helps incentivize nodes to have greater distribution around the globe. For example, if traffic is growing in Nigeria, it may become extra profitable to host nodes in Nigeria to capture the revenue from that traffic.
