## What is a light client {#what-is-a-light-client}
1010

11-
A light node is a node running light client software. Instead of keeping local copies of the blockchain data and independently verifying all the changes, they request the necessary data from some provider instead. The provider might be a direct connection to a full node or via some centralized RPC server. The data is then verified by the light node, allowing it to keep up with the head of the chain. The light node only processes block headers, only occasionally downloading the actual block contents. Nodes can vary in their lightness, depending upon whether the combinations of light and full client software they run. For example, the lightest configuration would be to run a light execution client and a light consensus client. It is also likely that many nodes will choose to run light consensus clients with full execution clients, or vice versa.
