Node operation refers to running a computer that participates in and maintains a blockchain network. This activity involves downloading and verifying the entire transaction history, relaying new transactions, and often participating in the network’s consensus mechanism. Operators of full nodes contribute to the decentralization, security, and integrity of the blockchain by independently validating all network rules. Their actions are fundamental for the distributed nature of digital asset systems.
Context
Node operation is a recurring topic in discussions about blockchain decentralization, security, and network health. News frequently covers changes in node count, geographic distribution, and the technical requirements for running nodes, which can influence accessibility. The ongoing efforts to make node operation more efficient and less resource-intensive are crucial for maintaining a robust and distributed network infrastructure.
