¡ Key point: After âthe Merge,â running an Ethereum node requires running two software clients: an execution layer client and a consensus layer client.
¡ How it works: The point of running your own full node is that you donât have to trust data from third parties: your own node checks whether blocks and transactions follow the rules.
¡ Practical tip: Before running your own validator node, assess your hardware, bandwidth, and time for maintenance. Frequent downtime can result in lost rewards.
