Masternodes are needed to verify new blocks in certain cryptocurrencies. However, unlike other nodes, they do not add new blocks to the network. To maintain a masternode, one needs to hold a certain amount of the protocol's cryptocurrency, and often a significant amount. In return for operating a masternode, the operator is rewarded in the native currency.
