What do full nodes, light nodes, and validators each do?
Ethereum execution layer clients include Geth, Nethermind, Besu, Erigon, and Reth, each maintained by a different team.
Light nodes download only block headers. When they need data for a particular transaction, they request the data and a Merkle proof from a full node.
The most important thing to keep in mind when managing your position: assess your hardware, bandwidth, and operational capacity before running a validator node. Frequent downtime can affect your rewards.
