Description

A Cardano node can participate in the decentralized blockchain network by validating and relaying chain data. It is useful for stake pool operators, developers, and advanced users who need direct node access.

This is blockchain infrastructure. It uses network, disk, and CPU resources, and misconfigured keys or wallets can affect funds, so separate operational secrets and monitor the node carefully.
