# Add a node to a network
Once you have joined a public network or deployed a consortium network, you can add more nodes to the network.
For consortium networks, you can add a node to run in cross-cloud, cross-region, and hybrid networks starting from the Enterprise subscription plan.
For public networks, you can add an elastic or a dedicated node.
To add a node:
- Select the project with the network.
- Select the network.
- Click Add node.
The status will change from Pending to Running once deployed.
