Web3 node is a server that runs the blockchain and provides the necessary APIs and tools to connect dApps built using Node.js to the blockchain, enabling functionalities like reading data from the blockchain and interacting with it.

How to run a WEB3 node?

Sign up on the Web3 node provider platform GetBlock. Once your account is set up, log in to the dashboard. Choose a network from the list (e.g. Ontology). You will see different node protocols available (e.g., JSON-RPC, Web3, etc.). Select the "Web3" option if you want to use Web3 APIs to interact with Ontology. After configuring your API, GetBlock will generate you a private endpoint URL ready for use.

What is the Ontology WEB3 node used for?

A Web3 node is used by developers building on Ontology who want to leverage existing Web3 tools and frameworks using well-known standard ways to interact with blockchains. Accessing the node with blockchain node providers in Web3 like GetBlock makes it easier to build decentralized applications (dApps) that can work across different blockchain platforms including Ontology.

Web3 Nodes

Web3 in the blockchain development context refers to the set of decentralized protocols, standards, and APIs that enable interaction with blockchain networks. With the GetBlock provider, you can easily deploy a Web3 node and connect your applications to interact directly with supported blockchains.
