Introduction

Welcome to the Miden node documentation.

This book provides two separate guides aimed at node operators and developers looking to contribute to the node respectively. Each guide is standalone, but developers should also read through the operator guide as it provides some additional context.

At present, the Miden node is the central hub responsible for receiving user transactions and forming them into new blocks for a Miden network. As Miden decentralizes, the node will morph into the official reference implementation(s) of the various components required by a fully p2p network.

Each Miden network therefore has exactly one node receiving transactions and creating blocks. The node provides a gRPC interface for users, dApps, wallets and other clients to submit transactions and query the state.
