RAM is perhaps the most critical resource utilized by the network. It represents the physical RAM that is storing the blockchain’s data in nodes around the world. Users can buy RAM from the network’s RAM markets with EOS and resell it if unused. In some scenarios a user can delete the data written to the RAM to retrieve it, but often this is not the case.
