To **Polkachu** for creating visualization of **“Master of Validators”** Will Pankiewicz’s initiative to decentralize of Nodes in Polkadot and Kusama Thousand Validators programme. 

This tool uses the Thousand Validators API to show the node distribution based on geographical locations in a user-friendly and mobile-optimized way.

More importantly, this tool replicates Will’s location score calculation ([https://github.com/w3f/1k-validators-be/blob/master/src/score.ts](https://github.com/w3f/1k-validators-be/blob/master/src/score.ts)) and displays score per geographic location for all of the 1KV Programme. 

The data table is cached once an hour to ensure fast loading and data availability in case of API downtime.
