H eveyone, i have a doubt: - Suppose 2 different nodes - 2 people working:1 people in node A and 1 people in node B - Its possible that if node A start a transaction, node B wait until node A transaction finish? Similar to whether they both work on the same node Regards! ---

Hi, Not sure what exactly transaction you mean, but no, it doesn’t work like on the same node. Nodes are not aware of their peer’s ongoing transactions until they are committed.
