Cardano Node is the core software that powers the Cardano blockchain, a decentralized, proof-of-stake platform for smart contracts and digital assets. Developed in Haskell, the node allows participation in Cardano’s network by validating transactions, producing blocks, and maintaining the ledger. It supports Shelley, Goguen, Basho, and other phases of Cardano’s roadmap, and plays a crucial role in network security and consensus. The node is configurable for different use cases, including running full nodes, relay nodes, or stake pool operators.
