  In the digital currency ecosystem, there are different types of nodes that serve different purposes. Full nodes, also known as validator nodes, store a complete copy of the blockchain and validate transactions. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity and security of the network. Lightweight nodes, on the other hand, do not store the entire blockchain but rely on full nodes for transaction verification. They are more suitable for devices with limited storage and computational power, such as mobile wallets. Mining nodes, as the name suggests, are responsible for mining new blocks and adding them to the blockchain. They use specialized hardware and software to solve complex mathematical problems and secure the network. Each type of node has its own importance and contributes to the overall functionality of the digital currency ecosystem.
