Blockchain//Besu//Node Roles

- Every Besu node is a full node — the roles describe what additional responsibilities it carries.

Every Besu node is a full node — the roles describe what additional responsibilities it carries.

One node can wear multiple hats (bootnode + validator + RPC), but separation is more secure.

Ideal topology: dedicated bootnode (no RPC), dedicated validator (no RPC), dedicated RPC node (no validator)

Role assignment is about port exposure and genesis config — not different binaries.
