Archive node Archive nodes are full nodes that verify every block from genesis and never delete any of the downloaded data. Stores everything kept in the full node and builds an archive of historical states. It is needed if you want to query something like an account balance at block #4,000,000, or simply and reliably test your own transactions set without mining them using tracing. This data represents units of terabytes, which makes archive nodes less attractive for average users but can be handy for services like block explorers, wallet vendors, and chain analytics. Syncing clients in any mode other than archive will result in pruned blockchain data. This means, there is no archive of all historical states but the full node is able to build them on demand. https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/nodes-and-clients/archive-nodes/
