Node Operator Overview

Operator guides demonstrate how to run full nodes and validator nodes on IOTA.

Full Node Operator Guides

IOTA full nodes validate blockchain activities, including transactions, checkpoints, and epoch changes. Each full node stores and services the queries for the blockchain state and history.

Validator Node Operator Guides

IOTA validators focus on servicing and processing transactions. When a validator commits a new set of transactions (or a block of transactions), the validator pushes that block to all connected full nodes that then service the queries from clients.

Exchange Integration Guide

The IOTA Exchange Integration Guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to integrate IOTA into a cryptocurrency exchange.
