# Vanar Nodes In order to interact with the Vanar chain you need to have access to the Vanar nodes. Normally you interact with these nodes via RPCs. The end users can interact with the blockchain via publicly available RPCs. You can also run your own nodes like an RPC node that gives you an exclusive access and faster data availability if you are building some applications for any use case. There are different types of nodes that one can run in the Vanar ecosystem. You can learn how to run the RPC and validator nodes using the following link: * [Run an RPC node](/nodes-and-validators/setup-a-rpc-node.md) * [Run a validator node](/nodes-and-validators/setup-a-validator-node.md) --- # 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.
