1/ 🧵  Liquify runs nodes on 60+ networks - from full to light, seed to pruned. Today we are delving into why archival nodes play such an integral role in blockchain networks:

Providing infrastructure for some of the leading L1/L2 chains

3/ Running your own node can be a great way to contribute to a blockchain network and gain a deeper understanding of how it operates. However, trying to maintain massive archival nodes can be overwhelming and expensive, without an infrastructure provider like Liquify.

We offer fully-managed nodes, enabling you to enjoy the advantages of running a node without the complexities of the infra setup and maintenance associated with it 🛠️💪.

4/ Our services are non-custodial and run on self-owned bare metal servers. This allows fast setup of archival nodes. Because we already run nodes on 60+ blockchains, it means we can scale efficiently and cost-effectively, up to 30–40% cheaper than cloud solutions like AWS. 🌐💼

5/ Take @Fuse_Network for example, one of Liquify’s long-term partners. Liquify supports Fuse with validators, RPCs and archival access for their explorer, ensuring seamless blockchain verification without the burden of running their own nodes 🚀

6/ At Liquify, our mission is clear: Provide cost-effective, reliable alternatives to centralized cloud servers. Our non-custodial fully bare-metal setup helps maintain blockchain history and helps users verify independently 🌍

7/ Liquify’s #IaaS offers both shared and dedicated nodes to handle the highest traffic, ensuring tools we rely on for blockchain verification remain uninterrupted. If your project struggles with cloud nodes, Liquify can help.

2/ 🔍 Archival Nodes are like the librarians or historians of a blockchain network. They store the entire history of the blockchain from the very first block (genesis block) to the present. They keep a record of every transaction and state change that has ever occurred on the network and are the backbone for true verification. 

In short, they’re essential for on-chain analytics, explorers, and dApps that require historical data. 💾✨
