# Block Producer Node

* This chapter is for NCPs (Node Council Partners) participating as BP nodes of the WEMIX3.0 blockchain.
* BP nodes must perform the consensus process and quickly generate and propagate blocks, so hardware, network resources, and firewall policy requirements must be strictly met.
