◼️19/100 Block-by-Block: Blockchain nodes

One thing I learned about: Blockchain nodes.

A blockchain node is any device that participates in the blockchain network.

It runs a client.

Typical tasks:

  • Validate blocks & transactions
  • Relay blocks & transactions
  • Store history
  • Communicate with other nodes (e.g. to maintain consensus)
