Lite Consensus Node (beta)
Light-weight non-archival consensus node
If you don't wish to run a full archival node, you can choose to run a light-weight consensus node that has ~90% savings in disk space requirements. The Lite Consensus Node achieves the disk space savings by pruning the state DB and only keeping a set of the most recent Periods.
Here are the hardware requirements for a lite consensus node.
Here's how you can set up a Lite Consensus Node.
1. Lite Consensus Node on the Taraxa Mainnet
1.1 Set up a Lite Consensus Node on the Mainnet from scratch
1.2 Turn an existing full node into a Lite Consensus Node on the Mainnet
1.3 Syncing from snapshot
Because the Taraxa network state has gotten very large, it takes quite a long time to sync. An alternative is to sync from a snapshot, which will drastically cut down on the amount of syncing time and can get your node up & running much more quickly.

2.1 Set up a Lite Consensus Node on the Testnet from scratch
2.2 Turn an existing full node into a Lite Consensus Node on the Testnet
3. Node upgrade & reset
