BEACON

Blockcast BEACON Node: Guardians of the network

BEACON is a Docker image that serves as the guardian and watcher of our network. These nodes play a critical role in maintaining network integrity and quality by monitoring performance, ensuring honest participation from all network participants, and verifying delivery metrics.

As the network evolves, BEACON nodes will expand their capabilities to function as multicast receiving endpoints, forming the backbone of our distributed content delivery infrastructure.

Why Run a BEACON Node?

By running a BEACON node, you:

  • Contribute to network security by monitoring and validating network activity

  • Help ensure quality across the Blockcast Network delivery infrastructure

  • Enable multicast delivery as nodes evolve into receiving endpoints

Running a BEACON node is super easy! All you need to do is download our Docker Image, run a few commands, and you’ll be participating in the Blockcast Network in no time.
