The post Stellar Network’s Complete History Now Available via Validation Cloud’s Archive Nodes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Validation Cloud has announced support for Stellar, storing a complete history of the network and allowing developers to query transaction details, account states and more. This will aid other services from the Stellar Development Foundation geared towards offering historical records, such as Horizon, whose historical data is limited to just one year. Validation Cloud, a node and staking service provider for Web3, has announced support for Stellar, making it easier and more convenient for developers to query the network for historical data. Validation Cloud announced the integration on Thursday, and SDF President Danelle Dixon commented that it would “make it easier for developers to build.” 📢Validation Cloud now supports @StellarOrg Horizon archive nodes!

But what if a developer needs data from five years ago? This is where Archive Nodes come in. According to Validation Cloud, Archive Nodes are used in three main cases, with auditing being the most common. Tax and regulatory compliance require more data than a pruned node can handle, as it can span over seven years and, for some networks like Stellar, a decade. Developers also require Archive Nodes…
