The NYC Node Project

NYC Node is home to the first compliant Ethereum archival node in development. “Archival nodes store the entire transaction history and maintain a complete record of all transactions from the genesis block (the first block in the blockchain) to the current block. This makes them useful for various purposes such as auditing, historical analysis, and research. It is a useful tool for quickly retrieving blockchain data.” says Faheem Kudo Hoosain, Blockchain Advisor and Queens College alumnus. “Where an archival node can help is with accessing high-quality data. Depending on their use-case, any student who creates a blockchain app will need to connect to an archival node to access historical data from a blockchain.”
