Blockchain Nodes

Blockchain nodes are the backbone of the blockchain network. They are the computers or devices that store a copy of the blockchain and are responsible for validating transactions and maintaining the integrity of the network. Each node has a copy of the blockchain and is connected to other nodes in the network, forming a peer-to-peer network.

How Nodes Work Together

The nodes work together to validate transactions and reach a consensus on the state of the blockchain. When a new transaction is initiated, it is broadcasted to all the nodes in the network. Each node then verifies the transaction and adds it to its copy of the blockchain. The nodes work together to ensure that all copies of the blockchain are identical and up-to-date. This process is known as consensus.

Decentralized Network

In a decentralized network like the blockchain, there is no central authority that controls the network. Instead, the nodes work together to maintain the security and integrity of the network. This makes the network highly resilient to attacks and ensures that the data stored on the blockchain is tamper-proof.

Types of Nodes

There are different types of blockchain nodes, including:

• Full nodes
• Light nodes
• Masternodes
• Mining nodes Each type of node has a specific function and plays a key role in the blockchain ecosystem.
