The nodes hub is about the machines that store and verify the Malairte blockchain. Running a full node is how you independently check the rules of the network rather than trusting someone else. This hub explains what a node does, how to run one, and why a wide spread of nodes keeps the network honest and decentralised.

Frequently asked questions
Why would I run a Malairte node if it does not earn coins?
A node does not earn MLRT, but it makes the network stronger. By validating every block yourself you stop trusting third parties, you help relay valid data to other peers, and you make the chain harder to censor or attack. More independent nodes means a more decentralised, resilient network. Many people run a node on a machine that is on anyway, as a quiet contribution to the project they mine or hold.
Does running a Malairte node hold or store my coins?
No. The Malairte node software has no built-in wallet. It does not hold private keys, it does not sign transactions, and it does not custody any MLRT. A node downloads the blockchain, verifies every rule for itself, and relays valid blocks and transactions to other nodes. Key management and signing are handled by separate software entirely. This separation is deliberate and useful: because the node holds no funds, you can run it on a cheap always-on machine without it becoming a target. Running a node means you are providing verification and relay to the network, not custody.
What is the difference between a node and a miner?
A miner produces new blocks by doing proof-of-work with a CPU or GPU and competes for the block reward. A node validates and relays whatever miners produce: it checks every block against the consensus rules and rejects anything invalid. The two jobs are distinct. A node does no mining and earns no coins; it secures the network by enforcing the rules. Many miners run a node so they have a trusted local view of the chain, but you can run a node without ever mining a single hash. Miners propose blocks, nodes decide which ones count.
