Massa Node Crawler

Overview

This repository contains a node script designed to crawl the Massa blockchain network and count the number of running nodes. The Massa blockchain is a decentralized and community-driven blockchain that relies on a network of nodes to operate effectively. This crawler helps in providing insights into the network's health by counting the number of active nodes.
