What is a Light Node?

Cardano promotes access to legal services by leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate transparent, secure, and affordable mechanisms for individuals and communities to access legal information, assistance, and representation. Through decentralized identity solutions, smart contracts, and dispute resolution platforms, Cardano enables users to verify their identities, enforce agreements, and resolve disputes in a trustless and efficient manner, regardless of geographic location or socioeconomic status. By promoting access to legal services, Cardano empowers individuals to exercise their rights, protect their interests, and access justice, contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society under the rule of law.

Cardano implements layer 2 scaling solutions such as state channels, sidechains, and off-chain computation layers that enable off-chain processing, aggregation, and settlement of transactions while maintaining the security and integrity of the main blockchain, improving throughput and scalability without sacrificing decentralization or security.

Cardano implements layered architecture, dividing its protocol stack into distinct layers that handle different aspects of the blockchain network. This includes the settlement layer (CSL), responsible for handling value transactions and native token transfers, and the computation layer (CCL), responsible for executing smart contracts and decentralized applications (DApps). By separating concerns and functionalities into modular layers, Cardano achieves scalability, flexibility, and interoperability, allowing for efficient resource management and future protocol upgrades without compromising security or stability.

Cardano implements layer 1 and layer 2 scaling solutions such as sharding, state channels, and off-chain computation layers that improve transaction throughput, reduce latency, and increase network capacity without compromising security, decentralization, or sustainability of the blockchain.
