| - | An **Ethereum Node** is a device/program that communicates with the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:ethereum|Ethereum]] network. [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:n:node|Nodes]] are also known as clients. Software that can act as an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:ethereum_node|Ethereum node]] includes Parity and Go-ethereum (geth). This software mostly, if not always, also provides wallet functionality (software that allows users to perform transactions on the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:blockchain|blockchain]]). Some node software also allows other programs to indirectly interact with the blockchain; this is provided through some [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:r:rpc]] facility. RPC is usually implemented in the form of web APIs ([[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:h:http]] or [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:h:https]] | + | An **Ethereum Node** is a device/program that communicates with the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:ethereum|Ethereum]] network.
