eth-validators

• data storage
  • may/may not store the entire blockchain history, mostly only minimal data needed for validation
• data validation
  • key participants in consensus process
  • propose and validate new blocks
  • agree on which txns are added to the blockchain and in which order
• incentivized to follow or else, staked eth is slashed

validators vs eth full nodes

• full nodes = no need to participate in consensus
