Technical Requirements

Minimum Hardware Configuration​

This is the minimum hardware configuration required to setup a full node:

  • RAM: 16-32 GB
  • CPU: 8-16 core CPU (For AWS: c5.2xlarge)
  • Storage: 2.5TB to 5TB SSD (make sure it is extendable)
tip

The minimum storage requirements will change over time as the network grows. It is recommended to use more than the minimum requirements to run a robust full node.

While we do not favor any operating system, more secure and stable Linux server distributions (like CentOS) should be preferred over desktop operating systems (like Mac OS and Windows).
