# Full Service

Full Service, a [ledger](/full-service-api/glossary/ledger.md) sync tool and [account](/full-service-api/glossary/account.md) management system, is a standalone executable that provides blockchain synchronization and wallet services. It creates encrypted, attested connections to validator nodes to confirm block headers and build and submit new transactions.

To keep the blockchain in sync, Full Service downloads new blocks from cloud storage and checks with its validator nodes that the block headers are correct. If validation succeeds, the new blocks are added to a local copy of the blockchain called the Ledger database (LedgerDB). This synchronization occurs periodically ensuring the local copy of the blockchain is up-to-date for calculating balances and generating transactions.
