<h2 class="heading-deco terciary h1">The EBSI network</h2>
<p>EBSI is a peer-to-peer network of distributed nodes across Europe, supporting applications focused on selected use-cases. Each member of the network, mandated by an EBP Member, hosts EBSI nodes at national level. All the nodes can create and broadcast transactions that will update the ledger. Every node keeps an identical copy of this ledger.</p>

<p>EBSI comprises three different and separated EBSI Networks and corresponding environments created for different purposes. EBSI environments are use case agnostic. EBSI may enable all forms of cross-border cooperation, such as the exchange of trusted and secure verifiable credentials, the exchange of data between public authorities to handle cooperation in the area of customs and taxation and the traceability of documents for audit purposes.</p><br>
<p class="btns mb-128"><a class="btn secondary outline" href="https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/EBSI/What+is+ebsi" target="_blank">Learn more</a></p>
<h2 class="heading-deco terciary h1">The EBSI nodes</h2>
<p>Each EBSI environment contains two different types of nodes:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Validator nodes: have the role to propose and sign new blocks. Also, they maintain a copy of the ledger by staying synchronised with the network.</li>
  <li>Regular nodes: their role is to maintain a copy of the ledger by staying synchronised with the network.</li>
</ul>    
<p>The minimum technical requirements are similar for both types of nodes, validator or regular being only the role of the node in the network.</p>
<p>The main difference between both nodes types are the SLA requirements, that are stricter for the Validator Nodes compared to the Regular Nodes due to the different roles that each of them play.</p>
<p>A Node Operator can choose the role of its node(s) in the respective environment at the onboarding phase or at a later stage, by opening a ticket to the EBSI Help Desk and requiring upgrading a Regular Node to a Validator or to downgrade a Validator to a Regular Node.</p>

<h3 class="h4 heading-deco terciary">Who can be a node operator?</h3>
<p>Any organisation in one of the European Blockchain Partnership countries (EU 27 + Norway and Liechtenstein) can host an EBSI node, as long as certain conditions are met. There are minimum technical requirements and SLAs to be met, all outlined in the EBSI Node Operator General Conditionsbelow. The candidate Node Operator also needs to request the endorsement of the EBP member in their countryEUROPEUM-EDIC.</p>

<h3 class="h4 heading-deco terciary">Why should you become a node operator?</h3>
<p>By becoming an EBSI Node Operator, you will not only help to mobilize European citizens to study, work and grow across Europe but you will also help improve the secure exchange of information. Join the EBSI ecosystem and help build the Europe of tomorrow.</p>
