WHAT IS THETA GUARDIAN NODE?

Definition on the official website:

Guardian Node acts as a secondary safeguard for the nodes created by Validator Nodes and serves as a verifier/controller for malicious blockchains and empty chains.

Since it provides an extra security layer for malicious actors, the Guardian Node is very important for the Theta blockchain.

By running a Guardian Node on your device and staking Theta / Tfuel, you can contribute to the security of Theta.

Summary:

The Guardian Node is a mechanism/program created to protect and monitor the Theta blockchain.

It is a second layer that monitors chains created by the Validator Node and others that might be malicious.
