What is a Theta node?

A Theta node is a software and hardware component that participates in the network, which is a decentralized network powered by blockchain technology. It helps to relay and distribute data efficiently within the network. Also, it makes data transfers within the blockchain stable and tamper-proof.

How to run a Theta node?

To run a Theta node, you need to download and install the client software on your computer or server. Then, you can configure the node by specifying parameters such as network settings and storage capacity. Once properly set up, the node can connect to the integrity of the network and contribute to decentralized data delivery. Running a blockchain node requires sophisticated skills in blockchain development, DevOps and specific server and Internet connection software.

What is a Theta full node?

A Theta full node refers to a complete and independent copy of the blockchain. It maintains a full copy of the blockchain's transaction history and participates in validating and securing the network. Full nodes play a crucial role in the decentralization and consensus of the blockchain network. This particular class of nodes is required for running modern cryptocurrency applications.

Theta RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a communication protocol used to interact with the blockchain network. It allows developers to send requests and receive responses from the network's nodes. By utilizing this type of RPC, developers can access various functionalities and retrieve blockchain data programmatically. As such, with RPC endpoints, there’s no need to run specific node for every dApp.

How does Theta API work?

Theta API provides a set of programming interfaces that allow developers to interact with the network and build applications on top of it. It enables developers to access and manipulate blockchain data, perform transactions, and utilize network features. By utilizing API, developers can integrate its capabilities into their own applications and services.

Theta RPC: Why should you choose it?

Theta is a blockchain-based network designed for seamless and distributed storage of video content. The network was launched in mainnet in 2018 as an attempt to leverage blockchain tech for processing massive amounts of data.

In 2023, Mainnet 4.0 upgrade was activated: the blockchain stressed its commitment to becoming a go-to platform for metaverse, DeFi, on-chain gaming use-cases. That said, teh blockchain outgrew its initial mission of bringing video content distribution to Web3 rails.
The blockchain leverages dual-token design with eponymous core token and a TFUEL asset, two governance, utility and network rewards tokens. The largest asset is a one of Top-100 cryptocurrencies by net market capitalization.
The ecosystem of the blockchain includes over 12,000 active nodes; 28 of them bear validator status. By running a node, cryptocurrency enthusiasts can contribute to decentralized video storage and earn network participants rewards.
Starting from 2020, the network supports smart contracts: developers can leverage THETA RPC nodes for running decentralized applications to address data storage and distribution issues.
