Types of Nodes

There are many ways you can participate in the Sunrise networks. Sunrise node operators can run several options on the network.

Consensus

  • Validator node: This type of node participates in consensus by producing and voting on blocks.

  • Full consensus node: A sunrise-app Full node to sync blockchain history.

Data Availability

  • Bridge node: This node bridges blocks between the Data-Availability network and the Consensus network.

  • Full storage node: This node stores all the data but does not connect to Consensus.

  • Light node: Light clients conduct data availability sampling on the Data Availability network.
