What is a Waves node?

Not unlike with other blockchains, a blockchain node is a hardware component (server) with a specific computer program (client) that participates in the blockchain network by maintaining a copy of the blockchain, validating transactions, and broadcasting them to other nodes.

How to run a Waves node?

To run a node in this protocol, you need to download and install the client node software, configure the node settings, and connect it to the network. The node will then start synchronizing with the blockchain and contribute to the network's operation.

What is a Waves full node?

A Waves full node is a type of cryptocurrency node that stores a complete copy of the blockchain, including all transaction history. It validates transactions, enforces network consensus rules, and provides a high level of security and reliability.

Waves RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a communication interface that allows developers to interact with the blockchain programmatically. It provides a set of methods and endpoints for accessing blockchain data, submitting transactions, and executing various operations.

How does Waves API work?

Waves API (Application Programming Interface) enables developers to integrate the blockchain functionality into their applications. It provides a standardized set of tools, protocols, and endpoints that developers can use to interact with the blockchain, retrieve data, and perform actions such as sending transactions or querying account balances.

Waves RPC: Why should you choose it?

Launched in Q3, 2016 following 30,000 BTC tokensale, Waves blockchain is a high-performance smart contracts platform. Introduced by former scientist Sasha Ivanov, the project gained much popularity as “Russian Ethereum”.

It is a reliable platform for all types of decentralized applications (dApps) including NFT marketplaces, DeFi protocols, DEXes, on-chain wallets, lending instruments, decentralized stablecoins, and so on.
The blockchain’s economic design is based on an eponymous core native utility and governance asset. Previously, it also used to host Neutrino USD (USDN), a decentralized over-collateralized stablecoin.
The blockchain pioneered a completely novel consensus protocol, initially derived from Avalanche inventor Emin Gün Sirer’s Bitcoin-NG idea. It also leverages Leased Proof of Stake (LPoS) consensus algorithm, a version of PoS design.
The platform was the first blockchain-centric venture to score partnerships with industry heavyweights like Microsoft Azure, Deloitte, and so on. Its one-stop smart contracts platform Vostok launched in 2018 was in the spotlight for Web3 developers across the globe.
