The blockchain code currently consists of a full node daemon (`kvd`) and it's command line interface (`kvcli`). The code currently consists of a full node daemon (`kvd`) and it's command line interface (`kvcli`).
Full nodes are fairly resource intensive and are designed to be run continuously on servers, primarily by people validating the network. While it is possible to run locally it is not recommended unless for development purposes. In the future light clients will enable secure transactions for clients.

A **full node** syncs with the blockchain and processes transactions. A **validator** is a full node that has declared itself to be a "validator" on chain. This obligates it to participate in consensus by proposing and signing blocks and maintaining uptime. By not following the protocol, the validator's stake will be slashed.
