# Worker Nodes

A worker node is a decentralized application (dApp) which enables enterprises to construct distributed computing networks which securely execute sensitive business operations. Each worker node can execute multiple solutions at the same time; subject to the limits of each operator system.

The server-based worker node is a decentralized application mainly offered to enterprises to be deployed in highly configurable execution environments on-cloud or on-premises.

The Launchpad Worker Node toolkit enables enterprises to configure, launch, as well as maintain Worker Nodes and to connect them to the [EW Marketplace app](/ewx-ecosystem/the-marketplace-app.md) so they can execute solutions.
