|---|---|---|
| Full nodes | Full nodes maintain consensus, validate the blockchain, and transmit blocks in a more secure way. | They need plenty of resources, are challenging to keep up, and are less user-friendly. |
| Light nodes | Light nodes are resource-saving, portable, and user-friendly. | They don't validate the blockchain, they don't transmit blocks as well, and they are less secure. |
| Pruned nodes | Their storage is flexible. | Old blocks need to be revalidated. |
| Mining nodes | Light nodes are resource-saving, portable, and user-friendly. | They don't validate the blockchain, they don't transmit blocks as well, and they are less secure. |
| Archive nodes | They have a complete history. | storage and resource-intensive. |
| Masternodes | They are inexpensive to maintain and provide a mix of benefits and rewards. | They have a challenging setup process and a significant upfront cost. |
| Staking nodes | They have low energy consumption and a low barrier to entry. | Low transparency and a luck-based reward scheme in staking pools. |
