All connections to an Algorand Network is via a node that exists on that network. Nodes provide three REST services:

| Service | Purpose | Client Class |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| `algod` (Algo Daemon) | Make and monitor [Transactions](xref:Algorand.Unity.Transaction). Any sort of writing to the blockchain happens via this service. | [`AlgodClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.AlgodClient) |
| `indexer` | Query the Algorand Blockchain. Used to determine things like account balance, whether or not an account has a token, or the state of a smart contract. | [`IndexerClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.IndexerClient) |
| `kmd` (Key Management Daemon) | Manage private keys securely in a wallet. Useful when you need basic wallet features, or when developing locally. | [`KmdClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.KmdClient) |
| Service | Client | Purpose |
| ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `algod` (Algo Daemon) | [`AlgodClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.AlgodClient) | Send and monitor [Transactions](xref:Algorand.Unity.Transaction). |
| `indexer` | [`IndexerClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.IndexerClient) | Query the Algorand Blockchain and lookup account, asset, or smart contract information. |
| `kmd` (Key Management Daemon) | [`KmdClient`](xref:Algorand.Unity.KmdClient) | Manage private keys and accounts securely in a wallet hosted by the node. |

When developing locally, it's **very** important to have an Algorand node setup for quick iteration and testing. See [Developing with Algorand Sandbox](getting_started/developing_with_sandbox.md) for a guide on setting up a local Algorand network for this purpose.
