💻Nodes

Introduction

Nodes are essential to the TONSquare blockchain, playing a vital role in maintaining the network's integrity and efficiency. They validate transactions, contribute to consensus mechanisms, and enhance the overall security of the blockchain. This document outlines the requirements and procedures for becoming a node operator in the TONSquare network.

Role of Nodes in TONSquare

Nodes on the TONSquare blockchain perform several critical functions:

• Transaction Validation: Nodes check and validate transactions to ensure their correctness and prevent fraudulent activities.

• Consensus Participation: Nodes are involved in the consensus process, helping to agree on the state of the blockchain and confirm transaction blocks.

• Network Security: By participating actively in the network, nodes help to secure the blockchain against attacks and potential vulnerabilities.
