Instead, it downloads the block headers only to validate the authenticity of the transactions. Because of this reason light nodes are easy to maintain and run. Lightweight nodes use a method called Simрlifiеd рауmеnt vеrifiсаtiоn (SPV) to verify transactions.<br /> <br /> Lightweight nodes are served by full nodes to connect to the Bitcoin network. They are effectively dependent on the full nodes to function.</div>
