Running your own $DOGE ecosystem node means facing one key question: where do the blocks come from?
Most people first ask whether they can get data only from other nodes on the network. Yes. Nodes discover and connect to each other via libp2p, and blocks are fetched directly from peers.
Next, they ask why they still need to connect their own Dogecoin Core. The two options have different trust boundaries: when using peers, you verify the blocks they provide; when connecting your own Core, you fetch the blocks from the chain yourself, and the local index simply reprocesses them.
The final question is whether to enable both options. You can switch between them at any time: connect your own Core, and the blocks come from the local copy of the chain; use P2P, and the blocks come from the nodes currently connected online.
