Blockchain Infrastructure
Blockchain infrastructure covers the nodes, validators, and bridges that constitute the operational backbone of any blockchain network.
Bridges
To transfer assets between blockchains requires interoperability via blockchain (cross-chain) bridges.
Nodes
A distributed network of computers that can validate blocks and transaction data by executing software.
Validators
Compare validators for each major blockchain.
Context
- depends-on Blockchain Architecture — the architectural decisions that shape this infrastructure
- pairs-with EVM Protocols — the protocol layer that runs on top of this infrastructure
- applies-to Oracle and Interop Tokens — tokens that incentivise bridge and oracle infrastructure operators
