Full Node
Definition
A full node is a computer that downloads and validates the entire blockchain, enforcing all consensus rules independently. Full nodes don't trust other nodesโthey verify everything themselves, forming the backbone of network decentralization and security.
Technical Explanation
Full nodes: download all blocks from genesis, validate every transaction against consensus rules, maintain the full UTXO set, relay valid transactions and blocks to peers. They independently verify the chain without trusting any external source.
Requirements include storage for the blockchain, bandwidth for syncing and relaying, and CPU for validation. Running a full node strengthens the networkโmore nodes mean more independent verification and harder coordination for attacks.
SynX Relevance
Running a SynX full node contributes to network decentralization and gives you full verificationโyou trust no one but the math. Full nodes can also mine or stake, earning rewards while securing the quantum-resistant network.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a full node to use SynX?
- Noโlight clients work for most users. Full nodes provide maximum trust minimization.
- How much storage does a full node need?
- Blockchain size grows over time; pruning reduces requirements significantly.
- Does running a node earn rewards?
- Full nodes can participate in mining/staking for rewards.
