# Nodes

The Node Screen provides detailed information about the nodes supporting the TICSScan, including their identifiers, locations, uptime, and connection status. It tracks metrics like active nodes, latency, and network health, allowing users to monitor performance and ensure network stability. Node operators can use this screen to troubleshoot issues and optimize configurations, enhancing the blockchain’s overall robustness.

### Node Performance Overview

The Node Performance Overview provides key metrics about the performance and activity of nodes in the Qubetics blockchain network. This section highlights the following:

* **Block Height**\
  The current block height in the blockchain shows the total number of blocks added _(e.g., 734)_. This indicates the network's growth and activity.
* **Bonded Coins**\
  Displays the total number of coins staked or bonded by validators to secure the network _(e.g., 5,266,265)_. This reflects the level of commitment to maintaining network integrity.
* **Latest Block**\
  The latest block displays the total number of active nodes currently participating in the network _(e.g., 21)_. These active nodes play a crucial role in ensuring decentralized data propagation and validating transactions within the blockchain.
* **Transactions Per Second (TPS)**\
  Shows the network's transaction throughput, indicating how many transactions are processed per second _(e.g., 734 TPS)_. This metric demonstrates the network’s efficiency and capacity.
* **Qubetics**\
  The total number of participants in the Qubetics network _(e.g., 108)._ This includes node operators, validators, and other contributors.
* **Countries**\
  Displays the number of countries hosting nodes in the network _(e.g., 10)_. This highlights the geographical distribution of nodes, ensuring decentralization and resilience.

### Geographical Node Map

The Global Distribution Map visually displays the geographical locations of all nodes in the Qubetics network, highlighting where nodes are operating worldwide. This map provides insights into the network's decentralization by showing how nodes are distributed across different regions and countries. A well-distributed network enhances security and resilience by reducing reliance on any single geographic area. The map may also include details such as the number of nodes in each location, node status, and latency, helping users and operators analyze the network’s global presence and performance.

### Node Details Table

The Node Details Table provides comprehensive information about each node in the Qubetics network, helping users monitor and analyze node performance and activity. The table includes the following details:

* **Sr. No.**\
  A serial number is assigned to each node for easy reference and identification.
* **Node Name**\
  The name of the node _(e.g., Tics-thunder-archive)_, allows users to identify its purpose or operator.
* **Node Address**\
  The unique address associated with the node _(e.g., 0x47865...46845)_. Clicking on the address opens a detailed view of the node's performance, uptime, transaction history, and other activities.
* **Location**\
  The geographic location where the node is hosted _(e.g., Germany)_. This provides insights into the network's global distribution and decentralization.

### Pagination

Pagination controls at the bottom of the node summary allow users to navigate through multiple pages of token data efficiently (e.g., 1, 2, 3 ... 12).
