This section explains how the Lineage public network is organized at a high level — before you dive into the HTTP API or client libraries. The model differs from a single “full node does everything” design: different roles split validation, block production, and long-term storage.
What to read first
- Node types — how mempool, miner, and storage nodes differ.
- Block mining — the round flow from the mempool to miners to storage.
- Transactions and two-way transactions — UTXO-style movement of value and multi-party patterns.
Implementation names in open-source code (modules, traits, and structs) can differ from these headings; when you build against a release, use the repository and release notes for exact symbols.
