a hard fork or some unforseen scenario, it might be required to run archive nodes for those chains temporarily to ensure
the transactions can be reobserved.
## Cosmos / IBC Connected nodes
All modern cosmos integrations happen by wormhole observing IBC transctions on gateway (wormchain). Guardian node operators do not need to run full nodes for these networks. For cosmos based chains that were added before this functionality, a full node is still necessary.
The following cosmos based nodes were added prior to gateway and guardians need to run full nodes:
* Injective
* Terra
* Terra Classic
* XPLA
**NOTE**: All guardians must run validators for wormchain, the codename of [Wormhole Gateway](https://wormhole.com/gateway/).
