What is a Node in Blockchain š§ ?
A node is a device connected to a blockchain network that stores, verifies, or distributes data. Nodes ensure the decentralization, security, and synchronization of the network.
Main types of nodes:
Full Nodes: Store the entire blockchain and verify each transaction.
Light Nodes: Download only the necessary part of the blockchain, relying on full nodes.
Mining Nodes: Participate in the creation of new blocks.
Archive Nodes: Store the entire blockchain history for analysis.
Nodes are the foundation of blockchain decentralization and security, maintaining the network's reliability. š§¬
