# Interaction with the HeLa Ecosystem

Guardian nodes interact with various components of the HeLa ecosystem:

* Servers: Nodes directly communicate with the servers they are assigned to monitor.
* Backend System: Nodes transmit collected data to the backend for processing and analysis.
* Guardian Node Smart Contract: Nodes contribute to the updating of the smart contract with their findings.
* Other Nodes: Nodes can potentially collaborate with other nodes to enhance monitoring capabilities or share information.
