A Light Client is a type of software used in blockchain networks that allows users to interact with the network without downloading the entire blockchain. Instead of storing all the transaction data, a Light Client only downloads a small portion of the blockchain, specifically the block headers.This lightweight approach enables users to verify transactions and balance information with less storage and bandwidth. Light Clients typically rely on Full Nodes for more detailed data, making them faster and easier to use on devices with limited resources, such as smartphones.While Light Clients do not provide the same level of security and validation as Full Nodes, they are sufficient for most users who want to retrieve balances, send transactions, or interact with decentralized applications. This balance of convenience and efficiency makes Light Clients a popular choice for those who prioritize quick access to the network.
