# Replace nodes in subnet w4asl

Motivation: 
 - replacing node xlqvn-a6nqo-dsmpl-hq33f-asc6z-haf6v-lpmng-vptat-aay4e-pbtyh-fae to optimize network topology
 - replacing node kqf7j-27dmb-6mtlc-kqnsm-ujlcw-3mw2p-sia27-gvkzk-qaqf6-6eekr-eqe to optimize network topology

Calculated potential impact on subnet decentralization if replacing:

- 1 additional node would result in: (gets better) the average log2 of Nakamoto Coefficients across all features increases from 2.1745 to 2.2575
- 2 additional nodes would result in: (gets better) the average log2 of Nakamoto Coefficients across all features increases from 2.2575 to 2.3219

Based on the calculated potential impact, replacing 2 additional nodes to improve optimization

Note: the heuristic for node replacement relies not only on the Nakamoto coefficient but also on other factors that iteratively optimize network topology.
Due to this, Nakamoto coefficients may not directly increase in every node replacement proposal.
Code for comparing decentralization of two candidate subnet topologies is at:
https://github.com/dfinity/dre/blob/79066127f58c852eaf4adda11610e815a426878c/rs/decentralization/src/nakamoto/mod.rs#L342

Note: the information below is provided for your convenience. Please independently verify the decentralization changes rather than relying solely on this summary.
Here is [an explaination of how decentralization is currently calculated](https://dfinity.github.io/dre/decentralization.html), 
and there are also [instructions for performing what-if analysis](https://dfinity.github.io/dre/subnet-decentralization-whatif.html) if you are wondering if another node would have improved decentralization more.



Decentralization Nakamoto coefficient changes for subnet `w4asl-4nmyj-qnr7c-6cqq4-tkwmt-o26di-iupkq-vx4kt-asbrx-jzuxh-4ae`:
```
    node_provider: 5.00 -> 5.00    (+0%)
      data_center: 5.00 -> 5.00    (+0%)
data_center_owner: 5.00 -> 5.00    (+0%)
             area: 5.00 -> 5.00    (+0%)
          country: 3.00 -> 5.00   (+67%)
```

**Mean Nakamoto comparison:** 4.60 -> 5.00  (+9%)

Overall replacement impact: (gets better) the average log2 of Nakamoto Coefficients across all features increases from 2.1745 to 2.3219

Impact on business rules penalties: 10 -> 0

Business rules check results *before* the membership change:
- Country US controls 3 of nodes, which is higher than target of 2 for the subnet. Applying penalty of 10.
