Node Deployment

Nodes are interconnected devices, usually software run on servers, that maintain the Sonic network by storing a full or partial copy of the chain, validating transactions, and ensuring consensus to keep the system secure and decentralized.

Visit the pages below to learn how to deploy archive and validator nodes on Sonic.

Archive Node

Stores the entire history of the chain since the genesis block but does not validate transactions or create new blocks.

Validator Node Validates transactions and creates new blocks to securely power and maintain the integrity of the network.
