# RPC Nodes
|
|
|
|
RPC Nodes (which might otherwise be referred to as 'Lite Nodes' or just 'Full Nodes') differ from Validators in that they hold a copy of the Nyx blockchain, but do **not** participate in consensus / block-production.
|
|
|
|
You may want to set up an RPC Node for querying the blockchain, or in order to have an endpoint that your app can use to send transactions.
|
|
|
|
In order to set up an RPC Node, simply follow the instructions to set up a [Validator](../../operators/nodes/validator-setup), but **exclude the `nyxd tx staking create-validator` command**.

If you want to fast-sync your node, check out the Polkachu snapshot and their other [resources](https://polkachu.com/seeds/nym).
