Consensus Nodes

Overview

• 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.

Note

Data Availability Layer: In addition to standard consensus tasks, Validator Nodes on Sunrise are responsible for verifying data for the Data Availability (DA) layer. This requires running additional daemons alongside the main sunrised process. See the validator documentation for more details.
