A fully set up node keeps track of the blockchain while the miners validate the blocks. This is required in order for the network to sync and run.
By running a full node, you are helping to secure the network. Best of all, running a node requires minimal hardware and can run on most modern computers/miners. Doing this, enables the wallets to sync up faster with the network itself.
To verify, navigate to Tools > Information.
Your full node should have both incoming connections and outgoing connections (it may take up to 15 minutes for incoming connections).
In the example below, we have 0 incoming and 6 outgoing connections (In: 0 / Out: 3).
p2p port=60777 rpc port=7777
If your equipment does not allow incoming connections using UPnP, you may need to allow incoming connections through opening the ports in the router/firewall, please read the instructions for your equipment.
