# Griffin Nodes In the Griffin AI network, each node plays an essential role as a crucial link connecting users and Client Providers (CPs) to the services they require. Full-nodes operated by active participants such as Service Providers (SPs), Client Providers (CPs), and Guardians, are crucial for the Griffin network's operation and maintaining its P2P databases. On the other hand, light-nodes provide an accessible option for those with limited resources, enabling participation without the need for extensive infrastructure. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
