What happens to that block? E.g, in Bitcoin, when a node receives an invalid block, it absolutely refuses to add it to the blockchain.

Would running only a Consensus Node suffice? It seems like that’d enable validating new blocks and blockchain state as it’s added. cc: @eleck --- ## [Getting Started as an Node Operator / Joining the Testnet](https://forum.flow.com/t/getting-started-as-an-node-operator-joining-the-testnet/803)
