# ABT Node Overview

ABT Node is a distributed computing operaing system built for the decentralized web and is the foundation of the ArcBlock platform. ABT Node is the first platform to fully integrate decentralized identity, blockchain framework and reusable software components known as Blocklets to make it easy to add new capabilities for any project. Users can one-click install apps, blockchains, developer tools, and more to enable them to deploy blockchain nodes, smart contracts, application logic, and more with zero hassle.

Every node also includes a left side action bar where that let you interact and control different aspects of your ABT Node. Let's take a look:
