Blockchain Technology and Applications
Nodes are individual devices or computers that participate in a blockchain network, each maintaining a copy of the entire blockchain and facilitating the verification and validation of transactions. They play a critical role in ensuring the security, decentralization, and integrity of the blockchain by communicating with other nodes to reach consensus on the state of the distributed ledger. Each node can have different functions, such as a full node, which stores all the transaction history, or a light node, which stores only part of the blockchain.
