AntShares node introduction
Full nodes are nodes that store all of the blockchain data. The nodes are connected to the blockchain, through a P2P network. In the blockchain network, all the nodes are equal, where it acts both as a client interface, and as a server.
There are two full-node programs. The first one is for ordinary users, displayed with a graphical user interface and all the basic functions of a user-client. We call it AntSharesCore-GUI.
The other is meant to be used by developers, hosted within the command line interface, and provides an external API for most of the basic wallet functions. This node also helps other nodes achieve consensus with the network, and is also involved in the generation of new blocks. We call It AntSharesCore-CLI.
Finally, this section also contains information about the AntShares network protocol, which provides a low level API for some transaction types that are not currently supported explicity by the CLI, such as claiming ANC or sending ANS without an open wallet.

Port description
If you want an external program to access the node's API, an open firewall port is required. The following is a port description that can be set to fully open or open-on-demand.
| Main Net | Test Net | |
|---|---|---|
| JSON-RPC via HTTPS | 10331 | 20331 |
| JSON-RPC via HTTP | 10332 | 20332 |
| P2P via TCP | 10333 | 20333 |
| P2P via WebSocket | 10334 | 20334 |

There is an underlying ecosystem powering the entire Antshares project. Everyone who holds the native currency itself can generate “gas” to be used on the platform.

Nice blog. One of the wallets that have so far fulfilled our criteria is the NEON wallet. We have been using this for over 6 months and have come to a conclusion that it is a secure wallet for storing NEO and claiming your GAS. For more information visit: Neon Beginner
