# Networks A Network is a group of nodes (or servers) that work together to establish consensus on a shared ledger or database. A blockchain network comprises multiple nodes that are connected and communicate with each other through a peer-to-peer network to validate and verify transactions on the network. These nodes can be owned and operated by different Organizations which are part of the Network, which allows them to collaborate on a shared application without needing to fully trust each other.
