Running a full node means maintaining a copy of the Bitcoin blockchain, and continuously checking for new transactions and blocks to validate. Full nodes store and keep track of a lot of data, so lightweight nodes also exist, where the data is heavily pruned to keep computing requirements low. Having a network of decentralized nodes running independently is what keeps the network secure, preventing double spends, and resilient, preventing the network from going offline. ContentsĪ node is software that indexes the entire blockchain, checking for and verifying new transactions. These nodes are run by us directly, operate on open-source Blockbook software, and do not keep track of user data. It is still completely safe to continue using the default backend settings, which connect Trezor Suite to SatoshiLabs’ nodes. Running your own node can offer additional peace of mind as data such as addresses and balances are never shared externally, but the concept can be too advanced for some users. This guide introduces why using your own node matters and how to get set up. By connecting to your own node, you can prevent data about your hardware wallet use from being leaked to a third-party host. Note that you cannot connect to your own node via the Trezor Suite web app. For more control over your privacy, the latest Trezor Suite update (version 22.3.2) enables Trezor users to connect to any node running Electrum Server when using the app’s desktop version.
