Running Your Own Node? Here’s What You Should Know
As blockchain technology continues to grow, an increasing number of businesses and individuals are exploring ways to contribute to decentralized networks. One of the most popular ways to engage with blockchain is by running your own node. A full node plays a critical role in maintaining the network. However, despite the growth and popularity of blockchain, there are fewer than 10.000 Bitcoin peers on networks running full nodes. Everyone else is still relying on other people’s full nodes to broadcast their transactions.
