X1Node Hardware
X1 EcoChain’s architecture is optimized around its low-powered nodes and PoA consensus. In the overview, each node in the network runs an X1 EcoChain client, participates in consensus, and hosts smart contracts and assets. Nodes connect in a peer-to-peer mesh, forming a global overlay network. This distributed topology is illustrated below:

Each X1Node is a compact, consumer-friendly device with the following features:
These specifications allow X1Nodes to be mass-produced cheaply and operate for years without maintenance. The hardware is open for anyone to set up; after syncing the blockchain, a node immediately joins the network.
