Run a Public Fullnode

You can run your own public fullnode (PFN) to synchronize the state of the Aptos blockchain and stay up-to-date. PFNs replicate the entire state of the blockchain by syncing from other Aptos VFNs and PFNs. PFNs can be run by anyone. This section explains how to deploy a PFN and connect to an Aptos network. You can learn more about the different types of nodes in the Blockchain Deep Dive section.
