A client, in the field of computer science, refers to a software or hardware component, or an individual who uses such tools, to establish a connection with a server in a client-server relationship or with the rest of the network in a peer-to-peer environment. The main purpose of a client is to enable end-users to engage in remote interactions with other entities through the Internet.
In the realm of cryptocurrency, software clients are utilized to establish connections with and interact with the blockchain network. As part of their operation, clients communicate with other nodes present on the network.
Cryptocurrency clients have various applications. One example is miners, which are software programs responsible for managing the operations of the user’s mining equipment and transmitting the computed hashes to the blockchain network.
Another instance is a wallet, which assists users in depositing, storing, sending, receiving, and withdrawing cryptocurrency coins and tokens. These wallets often have user-friendly graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that make it convenient for individuals with limited technical expertise to manage their crypto assets.
Furthermore, there are block explorers that allow users to access blockchain data, such as block height, current hashrate, overall transaction volume, individual transactions, and more. These explorers present the information in a format that is easily understandable to humans.
