Wakati wowote, kutakuwa na maelfu ya kompyuta tofauti (pia iitwayo nodes) mbio itifaki Ethereum na kuweka mtandao online. programu halisi kwamba kompyuta kutumia kuendesha itifaki Ethereum huja katika ladha mbalimbali, moja maarufu zaidi ni maombi ya kuitwa Gathi, imeandikwa katika lugha ya programu Go Google. 85% ya nodes wote Ethereum ni mbio Gathi wakati huo. mashambulizi inasukuma kipande cha data kwenye blockchain kwamba ushujaa mdudu katika programu Gathi na kusababisha mpango kwa ajali.
