Participants need a software application, known as core, on the computer to &quot;run&quot; a node.<br /> <br /> === Node Types ===<br /> <br /> The Nexus core can be configured to run as different types of nodes that consume data differently. The Nexus core can run two different types of nodes - full and lite.<br /> <br /> ==== Full Node ====<br /> <br /> - Stores full blockchain data.<br /> - Participates in block validation, verifies all blocks and states.<br /> - All states can be derived from a full node.<br /> - Serves the network and provides data on request.<br /> <br /> ==== Lite Node ====<br /> <br /> - Stores the block headers and sig chain data and requests everything else.<br /> - Can verify the validity of the data against the state roots in the block headers.<br /> - Useful for low capacity devices, such as embedded devices, IoT and mobile phones, which can&#039;t afford to store gigabytes of blockchain data.<br /> <br /> == Core ==<br /> <br /> Core is the software implementation of the protocols which power the Nexus network. Network participants run the core on a computer which connects and communicates to other computers running the core via the internet to form a single entity which is the Nexus network.<br /> <br /> === Core Contents ===<br /> <br /> ==== Lower Level Library (LLL) ====<br /> <br /> which is a series of templates for crypto, database and protocol. Base templates for the TAO framework, which will inherit these templates and create higher level functionality.<br /> <br /> ==== Tritium Amine Obsidian (TAO) ====<br /> <br /> The protocols which govern the Nexus network, utilizing the LLL as base templates for Tritium, Amine, and Obsidian feature sets.</div>
