What is a Monero node?

A Monero node is a computer running the Monero software that participates in the network by validating transactions, maintaining the blockchain, and relaying information to other nodes.

How to run a Monero (XMR) node?

To run a Monero node, you need to download and install the Monero software on your computer, synchronize it with the network by downloading the blockchain, and configure it to connect to the network. Once set up, your node will contribute to the decentralization and security of the blockchain.

What is a XMR full node?

An XMR full node refers to a complete implementation of the Monero protocol that stores and validates the entire blockchain. It maintains a complete copy of the blockchain and can independently verify the authenticity of transactions and blocks without relying on external sources.

What is Monero (XMR) RPC?

Monero RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is a protocol that allows external programs to communicate and interact with a node. It provides a set of functions and commands that enable developers to query blockchain data, create transactions, and perform various operations programmatically.

How does Monero (XMR) API work?

The Monero API allows developers to integrate its functionality into their applications. It provides a standardized set of endpoints and methods that developers can use to interact with the network, such as retrieving account balances, creating transactions, and querying transaction history. By using the Monero API, developers can build applications that leverage the features of the protocol in a convenient and efficient manner.

Monero RPC: Why should you choose it?

Monero is the first-ever mainstream privacy-focused cryptocurrency and the largest one by market capitalization. It means that XMR transactions can’t be tracked via public explorers and analytical tools. It makes Monero a coin of choice for all use-cases where advanced levels of privacy are needed.

The protocol was first proposed in 2013 by Nicolas van Saberhagen as a privacy coin on CryptoNote protocol. For the first time, CryptoNote was used in 2012 in early privacy asset Bytecoin.
XMR crypto leverages Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus and uses RandomX mining algorithm that prioritizes ASIC-resistance to protect the blockchain design from centralization threats.
In order to obfuscate users’ addresses, the network leverages Dandelion++ protocol for IP hiding and ring signatures scheme to make transactions on XMR nodes untraceable.
