A computer running blockchain software on a network. Nodes verify transactions and keep a copy of the blockchain. A node can also be turned into a mining node as is the case with Bitcoin, or a validator can be added in the case of Ethereum. A goal of popular blockchains like Bitcoin and Ethereum is for anyone to be able to run a node on their home computer, however this is typically not a good idea.
