A friend was asking me about this node question in a blockchain network and I told him that it’s essential to preserving the decentralized structure of the system. The blockchain network is made up of nodes, which are discrete devices like computers or servers that are connected to one another.

While every node possesses a duplicate of the complete blockchain ledger, encompassing all previous network transactions. Through the use of a consensus mechanism, nodes verify and relay transactions, validate the accuracy of the data, and come to an agreement on the ledger's current state.

And by taking part in the validation procedure, nodes which are also contribute to the process of appending new blocks to the blockchain. All things considered, nodes maintain the blockchain network's immutability, security, and transparency. Although there is more too it. And will like to hear other people opinion.
