Tron (TRX): The Essence Of Node On Blockchain
Nodes are described as active electronic devices like phones, computers or printers that are connected to the internet with a designated IP address. Although nodes sometimes help to process transactions but its main function to the network is to buoy a copy of the blockchain.
Nodes appear in binary tree structure, and every cryptocurrency has its own nodes which helps to keep the record of the token used for transactions.
While nodes can be in various locations, node(s) owner can contribute to the network by storing and validating transactions, and with this, they get rewarded. This can be dubbed as mining or forging.
Apart from the fact that increase in nodes show the growth of a blockchain network, nodes help to preserve the integrity of cryptocurrency. It helps to increase the resistance of crypto, running on blockchain, to power failures, systemic crashes or hacks, amongst others.
