What is a Nervos Network node?

A Nervos Network Node is a computer with client software participating in the Nervos Network that helps maintain the blockchain's security and integrity by validating transactions and storing a copy of the blockchain ledger.

How to run a Nervos Network node?

To run a Nervos Network node, you need to download and install the client software, configure the relevant settings, and connect to the network. The client software allows you to synchronize with the blockchain and participate in the network's consensus mechanism.

What is a CKB full node?

A CKB full node refers to a complete implementation of the Nervos CKB (Common Knowledge Base) protocol, which enables users to interact with the Nervos Network. It stores the entire blockchain history and provides access to all the data and functionalities of the network.

What is RPC in Nervos Network?

RPC (Remote Procedure Call) Nervos Network is a communication protocol that allows users to interact with a node remotely. It provides a standardized interface for sending requests and receiving responses, enabling users to access blockchain data, submit transactions, and perform various operations on the network.

How does Nervos Network API work?

The Nervos Network API allows developers to interact with the blockchain programmatically. It provides a set of functions and endpoints that enable querying blockchain data, submitting transactions, retrieving account information, and accessing other network functionalities. Developers can integrate the API into their applications to build decentralized applications (dApps) and interact with the blockchain.

Nervos RPC: Why should you choose it?

Nervos Network is a programmable blockchain (smart contracts platform) initially launched in 2018 by Jan Xie, Terry Tai, Kevin Wang, Daniel Lv, and Cipher Wang.

Nervos itself (at a foundation layer) leverages Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus while its execution layers can be Proof-of-Stake blockchains. As such, Nervos RPC APIs connect devs to hybrid blockchain networks.
CKB Proof-of-Work is an advanced version of Bitcoin’s Nakamoto consensus dubbed NC-MAX. Its accounting method Cell is also a version of the UTXO model well-known for its role in Bitcoin, Cardano, Monero, and so on.
Common Knowledge Database or CKB is another name for Nervos’ foundation layer. Its execution layer for smart contracts is called CKB virtual machine or CKB-VM. Besides that, CKB node design is a basis for two L2 solutions, Godwoken and Axon.
