A Flow Node is a participant in the Flow blockchain network that helps validate and propagate transactions and blocks. It contributes to the overall security and decentralization of the network.

How to run a Flow node?

To run a Flow node, you need to set up the necessary software and configure it to connect to the Flow network. This typically involves installing the Flow node software, syncing with the network, and ensuring proper network connectivity.

What is a Flow full node?

A Flow full node is a type of Flow node that stores a complete copy of the Flow blockchain and participates in the network's consensus process. It maintains the entire transaction history and can independently validate and execute smart contracts.

Flow RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol used to interact with the Flow blockchain. It allows developers to send requests to a Flow node and receive responses, enabling them to retrieve blockchain data, submit transactions, and perform other operations programmatically.

How does Flow API work?

Flow API provides a set of interfaces and endpoints that developers can use to interact with the Flow blockchain. Developers can make HTTP requests to the API endpoints to access various blockchain functionalities, such as retrieving account information, executing transactions, querying contract state, and subscribing to events.
