...Nodes are its critical components, performing several important functions such as processing and validating transactions, and generating and storing blocks. Nodes store full blockchain data, pass this data to other nodes, and check the validity of newly added blocks. Validation ensures that the blocks are all in the correct format, all hashes are computed correctly, that the new block contains the hash of the previous one, and that every transaction is validated and signed by the right parties.
