A NEAR node is a server running the NEAR Protocol software. It is capable of maintaining the blockchain by processing transactions and storing data. Nodes can participate in validating transactions (validator nodes) or simply synchronize with the network (full nodes) to provide data access.
A dedicated NEAR node is needed for businesses or developers working with reliable and secure access to the NEAR blockchain. Use cases include real-time data processing, running dApps, and ensuring optimal performance for blockchain operations.
Independent validator: The dedicated NEAR node functions as a standalone validator, specifically designed to process and verify transactions within the NEAR Protocol, ensuring accuracy and integrity in consensus mechanisms.
Full-ledger synchronization: It holds a complete and up-to-date copy of the NEAR blockchain, enabling real-time synchronization and quick data retrieval for applications or users.
Custom configuration: This node allows for tailored configurations, such as adjusting gas fees, optimizing transaction processing speeds, and implementing advanced security protocols unique to NEAR's sharded architecture.
Network contribution: It actively communicates with other NEAR nodes, participating in block production, and helping to maintain the decentralized nature and stability of the NEAR network.
Several tools can monitor dedicated NEAR nodes:
Dedicated NEAR nodes are specialized servers set up solely for a single user's blockchain activities, offering unparalleled customization and performance. Compared to shared nodes, these nodes are exclusively yours, meaning you don't have to compete for computational resources. They provide a tailored environment perfect for running high-demand applications, maintaining private networks, or conducting sensitive operations with heightened security and efficiency. RPC Fast provides you with the fastest dedicated NEAR nodes that fit your needs and exceed expectations for blockchain development.
A dedicated NEAR node operates as an independent server configured to process and validate transactions on the NEAR blockchain exclusively for a single user or organization. It maintains a complete copy of the blockchain ledger, ensuring real-time data synchronization and transaction integrity. This node can be customized for specific performance or security needs, offering full control over its operational parameters. Additionally, it communicates with other nodes in the network, contributing to consensus and ensuring the network's overall stability
