Deciding which Node to run

The Block Specimen Producer securely extracts data from blockchains, creating what is known as Block Specimens - a bulk export method that ultimately leads to the generation of a canonical representation of a blockchain’s historical state.

The Block Results Producer re-executes or processes the Block Specimens further, producing enriched data outputs called Block Results, a comprehensive representation of block data returned from an RPC call to a blockchain node, with additional fields for in-depth analysis.
