Node operators are individuals or entities responsible for maintaining and running the computer systems that support a blockchain network. These nodes validate transactions, maintain the distributed ledger, and ensure the network’s operational integrity. Their participation is fundamental to the decentralization and security of the blockchain. Reliable node operation is critical for network consensus and data availability.
Context
The decentralization and security of blockchain networks are often assessed by the distribution and quality of their node operators. Discussions frequently arise regarding the requirements for operating nodes, potential centralization risks, and the incentives provided to these participants. Their performance directly influences the network’s resilience and reliability.
