SOFTWARE CLIENT
A software client refers to the software that allows a computer or device to connect to and interact with the blockchain network. These clients are crucial for decentralization because they enable users to participate in the network as nodes, verifying transactions and contributing to the overall security and stability of the blockchain. By using a variety of software clients, users can help ensure that no single entity or group has complete control over the network, thus promoting decentralization and making the blockchain more resistant to censorship and attacks.
