# Add a node to a network

Once you have deployed a consortium network or joined a public network, you can add more nodes to the network.

For consortium networks, you can add a node to run in cloud or on-premises.

For public networks, you can add a shared or a dedicated node.

To add a node:

1. Select the project with the network.
2. Select the network.
3. Click Add node.

The status will change from Pending to Running once deployed.
