- **Native public nodes**. This is one of the new coolest features the Monero devs came up with to improve the user experience and to make easier to connect to the network. The @daemon allows to make a node public by simply adding the flag `--public-node`. Doing so, it will be advertised on the P2P network and people will be able to connect to it (or to another public node advertising itself in the same way) using the related option in the GUI and CLI wallets.
Be aware that using public remote nodes can be risky. Node operators can link transactions to IP addresses. These risks can be mitigated, but you should always avoid using them if you have the possibility. Run your own node!
