3. Why are full nodes so important to permissionless blockchains?

A full node stores all historical transactions, which are written into the data structure of the blockchain (Translator’s Note: This is a misunderstanding. The definition of a full node is the ability to verify new blocks in real time. In Bitcoin, there is a “pruning node” in the network, which only saves the most recent blocks, but saves the latest state of the network (UTXO set), so it can also verify blocks in real time and is also a full node). They have fundamental control because they are the validators of every transaction and block that occurs in the network. When a new block is broadcast in the network, the full node will determine whether the funds have been repeatedly spent and whether they are immediately available based on the local copy of the ledger. click to read

4. Blockchain Account Abstraction (AA) study notes for non-technical people

I have heard a saying that accounts are the last piece of the puzzle for the large-scale application of blockchain. Whether this statement is accurate or not is open to debate, but Account Abstraction (AA) is indeed an interesting topic. As we all know, I have no technical background at all, so I consulted @nake13 for a while, and then wrote this study note from a non-technical perspective, and extracted 4 parts that I think are important. On the one hand, this is part of my use of the Feynman learning method. On the other hand, I hope this will be helpful for friends who have no technical background like me to understand blockchain accounts (AA), wallets and account abstractions. click to read
