# Blockchain Network Structure

Nodes, which are the most important stakeholders of decentralization in blockchain systems, are supported and incentivized by the easy-to-install hybrid mining system offered by MetaChain. This feature allows its distributed structure to grow at an even fastest rate.

The MetaChain network has been operational since day one with 19 MetaMiner nodes on 3 continents of the world in different locations. These fixed master nodes are provided by Metachain and their number can reach hundreds of thousands without any problems regarding the infrastructure.

In large-scale studies, not only a blockchain has been developed, but also improvements have been made that will increase the performance of the chain in all aspects, reduce network latencies and exceed the limits of existing TCP protocols. Thus, it is guaranteed that the synchronization between MetaMiner and nodes always happens instantly by using the world's most advanced technologies in this field.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.metaverse-ico.net/whitepaper/scalability/blockchain-network-structure.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
