🔗Nodes Set Up

Running a BlockDAG node lets users directly contribute to the blockchain's security and decentralization. This involvement allows users to validate transactions and support consensus mechanisms, ensuring the blockchain remains reliable and secure. For those interested in mining, setting up a node also enables the possibility of earning rewards through mining operations.

Users might need to consider several technical aspects when preparing to run a node, including system requirements such as a multi-core CPU, sufficient RAM, and available disk space for the growing blockchain data. Additionally, a stable internet connection is vital to maintain network communication without disruptions. Running a BlockDAG node requires some familiarity with Docker, as the setup process uses a Docker image to deploy the node efficiently.

The node can be configured to participate in the testnet, providing users with a controlled environment to experiment with mining, transaction validation, and other blockchain interactions. This is particularly useful for testing and fine-tuning the node's performance before transitioning to the mainnet.
