# Nodes

### Overview

Nodes are fundamental components of the UOMI ecosystem, serving multiple critical functions including blockchain maintenance, AI computation execution, and system-wide service integration. Each node type is optimized for specific roles within the network architecture.

### Node Types

#### Full Node

* **Core Functions:**
  * Maintains complete blockchain copy
  * Performs comprehensive transaction verification
  * Facilitates network transaction propagation
  * Supports network stability and decentralization

#### Archive Node

* **Key Features:**
  * Stores complete historical state
  * Enables historical block queries
  * Supports data analytics and explorers
  * Maintains network transparency

#### Validator Node

* **Capabilities:**
  * Operates full node functionality
  * Participates in consensus
  * Implements intelligent state pruning
  * Optimizes storage efficiency
  * Executes Agents

### MainNet Service Architecture

#### Core Components

1. **Uomi-node Service**
   * Substrate-based blockchain runtime
   * Transaction processing engine
   * State management system
   * Network communication protocol
2. **AI Service**
   * Dedicated computation engine
   * Model execution environment
   * Agent interaction interface
   * Resource management system

#### Integration Layer

The AI-AGENT system interfaces with node services through:

* Secure proxy functions
* Protected communication channels
* Resource allocation controls

### Technical Specifications
