# Seed Node Seed nodes are nodes operated directly by the MEVerse Chain and serve as the first gateway to the network. In order for new nodes to join the network or receive blockchain data, they need to receive initial network information and the latest block information from seed nodes. Seed nodes play an important role in the bootstrapping process of the network, providing an initial point of connection. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
