Many open-source, public blockchains such as Bitcoin and Ethereum encourage users to download and install the official client wallet software so they can send and receive the native tokens or crypto of that blockchain. This software also gives users the option of downloading a complete copy of the blockchain, referred to as a full node. Blockchain full nodes are very important for a crypto blockchain network’s overall health and security. More full nodes result in a distributed and decentralized global network of full blockchain nodes.
