1. Educational purposes, opening core development to a wider spectrum of developers.

2. serve as a base for nodes running in browsers

3. Extensibility, be the base for purpose specific nodes, that don't require all the work that a full node does, some examples could be:

   • light weight node following only the tip of the chain (example usages: some mini-protocols servers or ad-hoc chain indexer saving blocks elsewhere)
   • node that only keeps the ledger state, for optimal UTxO queries
   • etc.
