O que é Full node?
A node that downloads and validates the entire chain from genesis rather than trusting anyone else's summary of it.
Full validation means checking every signature, every issuance amount and every rule for every block ever produced. It takes time and disk space, and it is what makes the network trust-minimised.
Pruned nodes validate everything but discard old block data afterwards, keeping the security property with far less storage.
