Was just about to say the same. Chia is at 123k full nodes.

Source: https://dashboard.chia.net/

If you google Chia launch it says it started with more than 100k nodes already

If you zoom out that dashboard it says at one point 200k nodes that than very sudden changes but in a general trend downwards. Data might not be accurate

I don't understand much of Chia or other coins, but it does not look very organic

Good question, how many gigatons of e-waste have they generated now?

Couldn't find their api to get the numbers..
