You&#39;re still enforcing the rules of the network, you&#39;re still transacting without middlemen as a full node.&#xA;&#xA;Archival just means you&#39;re helping more with bootstrapping new nodes. Like bittorrent, as long as there are enough full seeds, each additional one has diminishing returns.&#xA;&#xA;There&#39;s a weird idea that seemsbto be proliferating that everyone needs the whole chain. It&#39;s a silly one. You do need to validate the whole chain but you don&#39;t need to keep it.&#xA;&#xA;I for one am looking forward to Florestad, a pruned full node using utreexo that runs on mobile. It&#39;s available for Signet already.</html></oembed>
