# Run your node | ||
The Oasis Network consists of several types of nodes, each serving distinct | ||
roles to maintain the functionality, security, and decentralization of the | ||
network. In this section you can find descriptions of the main types of nodes | ||
within the Oasis Network. | ||
|
||
## Validator Node | ||
A Validator Node is an essential component, as Oasis Network uses proof-of-stake | ||
(PoS) consensus mechanisms. It is responsible for verifying transactions and | ||
proposing new blocks to be added to the blockchain. Validator nodes operate on | ||
the consensus layer by staking the network's tokens, which grants them the right | ||
to participate in the consensus process. This process involves validating | ||
transactions, signing blocks, and ensuring the integrity of the blockchain. | ||
|
||
## Compute Nodes | ||
Compute Nodes are responsible for executing smart contracts and processing | ||
transactions within a specific ParaTime (Parallel Runtime). These nodes handle | ||
the actual computation tasks, such as running decentralized applications | ||
(dApps), performing data processing, and executing privacy-preserving smart | ||
contracts. | ||
|
||
- **Sapphire Compute Node** is responsible for executing EVM-compatible | ||
privacy-preserving smart contracts and processing transactions within the | ||
Sapphire ParaTime. These nodes validate and execute transactions while | ||
maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive data, which is a crucial aspect | ||
of applications that handle private information or require enhanced security. | ||
This is achieved through trusted execution environments (TEEs) that ensure | ||
data remains encrypted and confidential, even while being processed. | ||
|
||
- **Cipher Compute Node** is responsible for executing privacy-preserving smart | ||
contracts and processing transactions within the Cipher ParaTime. These nodes | ||
validate and execute transactions while maintaining the confidentiality of | ||
sensitive data, which is a crucial aspect of applications that handle private | ||
information or require enhanced security. This is achieved through trusted | ||
execution environments (TEEs) that ensure data remains encrypted and | ||
confidential, even while being processed. | ||
|
||
- **Emerald Compute Node** is responsible for executing EVM-compatible smart | ||
contracts and processing transactions within the Emerald ParaTime. It performs | ||
tasks such as validating transactions, running EVM-based smart contracts, and | ||
ensuring that the operations within the Emerald ParaTime are carried out | ||
efficiently. | ||
|
||
## Client Nodes | ||
A Client Node is a type of node within the Oasis Network that serves as | ||
an interface for users or other applications to interact with the blockchain. | ||
Unlike compute nodes, which handle transaction processing and smart contract | ||
execution, client nodes are primarily responsible for tasks such as querying | ||
the blockchain, submitting transactions, and retrieving data from the network. | ||
|
||
- **Non-Validator Node** is a type of node in the Oasis Network that does not | ||
participate in the consensus process of validating and proposing new blocks. | ||
Instead, it has client node functions that support the network's operations and | ||
decentralization. | ||
|
||
- **Sapphire Client Node** is a specific type of client node within the Oasis | ||
Network that interacts with the Sapphire ParaTime. The Sapphire ParaTime is | ||
designed to support EVM-compatible confidential smart contracts and | ||
privacy-preserving decentralized applications (dApps) with strong privacy | ||
features and high performance. | ||
|
||
- **Cipher Client Node** is a type of node within the Oasis Network designed | ||
to interact specifically with the Cipher ParaTime. The Cipher ParaTime is known | ||
for its strong privacy features, allowing for the execution of confidential | ||
smart contracts and the development of privacy-preserving decentralized | ||
applications (dApps). | ||
|
||
- **Emerald Client Node** is a specific type of client node within the Oasis | ||
Network, designed to interact with the Emerald ParaTime. The Emerald ParaTime is | ||
an Ethereum-compatible environment on the Oasis Network, allowing developers | ||
to deploy and manage decentralized applications (dApps) that utilize the | ||
Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). | ||
|
||
## Rosetta Gateway | ||
A Rosetta Gateway service is a specialized service within the Oasis | ||
Network that implements the Rosetta API to provide a standardized and simplified | ||
interface for interacting with the blockchain. This service is crucial for | ||
enabling seamless integration between the Oasis Network and various external | ||
platforms, such as exchanges, wallets, custodians, and blockchain-based | ||
applications. | ||
|
||
## Public gRPC | ||
An Oasis Public gRPC is a public API endpoint that allows developers to interact | ||
with the Oasis Network using the gRPC protocol, enabling efficient, real-time, | ||
and cross-platform communication with the blockchain. | ||
|
||
## Web3 Gateway | ||
A Web3 Gateway enables interaction with the Oasis Network using standard | ||
Web3 protocols, which are widely used in the Ethereum ecosystem. It acts as a | ||
bridge between Web3-based applications and the Oasis Network, allowing | ||
developers to leverage the tools, libraries, and practices familiar in | ||
Ethereum development while benefiting from the unique features of the Oasis | ||
Network, such as privacy and confidentiality. | ||
|
||
## Archive Node | ||
An Archive Node is a specialized node within the Oasis Network that stores the | ||
entire blockchain history, making it a crucial tool for in-depth analysis, | ||
development, and ensuring that the network's past states remain accessible. | ||
|
||
## Seed Node | ||
A Seed Node is a type of node in the Oasis Network that serves a critical role | ||
in helping other nodes discover peers and join the network. Unlike validator | ||
nodes, which participate in the consensus process, Seed Nodes do not play a | ||
direct role in consensus. | ||
|
||
## Key Manager Node | ||
As Key Manager Node is a specialized node in the Oasis Network responsible for | ||
securely managing cryptographic keys used in confidential computing. These nodes | ||
are crucial for the network's privacy-preserving features, enabling secure | ||
encryption and decryption of data processed within Trusted Execution | ||
Environments (TEEs). They play a vital role in enabling the Oasis Network's | ||
secure, decentralized, and privacy-focused operations. | ||
