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.
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.
