Masternodes are full nodes that create, verify, and validate new blocks in XinFin XDC Network and play a vital role at the time of the validation of the transaction.
To set up a Masternode on XDC Network, ensure your XDC protocol running node is publicly identified and through the compliance process. Every Node Holder needs to upload a KYC document, and this detail will be visible to the public network. To find more information visit the guide to set up a masternode on XinFin XDC Network.
The Masternode App is a handy tool to view the details of masternodes running on the Network. Here, we have two apps for mainnet and testnet, XinFin XDC Network App and Apothem Network App.
