Aleph Cloud Nodes
Welcome to the Aleph Cloud Nodes documentation. This section provides comprehensive information about the different types of nodes that power the Aleph Cloud network.
Types of Nodes
Aleph Cloud's decentralized infrastructure is maintained by two primary types of nodes:
Core Channel Nodes
Core Channel Nodes are the backbone of the Aleph Cloud network. They:
- Process and validate transactions
- Maintain consensus across the network
- Store and distribute messages
- Coordinate network activities
Compute Resource Nodes
Compute Resource Nodes (CRNs) provide the computational power for the network. They:
- Execute virtual machines and containers
- Process on-demand and persistent computing tasks
- Support confidential computing with AMD SEV
- Provide decentralized computing resources
Node Rewards
Node operators are rewarded for their contributions to the network. The reward structure varies by node type and is designed to incentivize reliable operation and network growth.
