- Full nodes, which hold in their database all block headers and bodies, plus the storage of recent blocks.
- Light clients, which only know the headers of recent blocks.
- Archive nodes, which hold.
- Archive nodes, which hold in their database all block headers, bodies, and storage of every past block.
- Plain databases that aren't actually connected to the peer-to-peer network of the blockchain.
