A Wax Node is a participant (server with installed client software) in the blockchain network that stores a copy of the entire blockchain and maintains the network's consensus by validating transactions and blocks.

How to run a Wax node?

To run a Wax node, you need to set up the necessary hardware and software infrastructure. This involves installing the client software, synchronizing with the blockchain network, and ensuring a stable internet connection for continuous operation.

What is a Wax full node?

A WAXP full node refers to a complete copy of the blockchain, which stores all transactional data and is capable of validating transactions and participating in the consensus process. It provides a high level of decentralization and security for the network.

Wax RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a communication protocol that allows external applications to interact with the Wax blockchain. It enables developers to make requests to the network, such as retrieving blockchain data or submitting transactions, through a standardized API.

How does Wax API work?

The Wax API serves as an interface for developers to access and interact with the blockchain. It provides a set of functions and endpoints that allow users to retrieve blockchain data, create transactions, and perform various operations related to decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. Developers can integrate the Wax API into their applications to enable blockchain functionalities.

Wax RPC: Why should you choose it?

Wax blockchain was introduced by cryptocurrency veterans William E. Quigley and Jonathan Yantis in 2015. Its mainnet operations started in 2017. The network was among the first “purpose-built” blockchains tailored for e-commerce.

Since it is a programmable blockchain, it supports smart contracts of various types. The blockchain is suitable for all classes of cryptocurrency software applications: from DeFi yield farming machines to digital collectibles marketplaces for in-game objects.
Wax gained traction in 2021 amidst the euphoria of non-fungible tokens, Play-to-Earn protocols, GameFis, metaverses and other entertainment digital platforms on blockchain rails.
Its network ecosystem includes a variety of commercial and development instruments designed to ensure its leadership in NFT marketplaces and metaverses segment. The blockchain supports WAX Cloud Wallet, SSO and OAUTH, a native random number generation tool, and so on.
The network leverages Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) - a more sophisticated version of PoS - as its consensus mechanism. Also, Wax is well-known for its backward compatibility with early smart contracts platform EOS.IO.
