⚙️How It Works

In blockchain networks, a node is a crucial component that validates transactions, stores data, and ensures the integrity of the network. Nodes can take various forms, such as full nodes, validator nodes, or archival nodes, each serving a specific function in maintaining the blockchain.

Importance of Nodes

  • Network Security: Nodes validate transactions and prevent fraud.

  • Decentralization: Nodes distribute the workload, ensuring the network remains decentralized.

  • Consensus: Nodes play a role in achieving agreement across the blockchain.

AccessNode operates nodes for the Ethereum blockchain network, contributing to the stability and functionality of the ecosystem.
