Hardware requirements

Resource
Recommended

RAM

16 GB

CPU

4 core CPU (for AWS, a t3 xLarge instance)

Storage type

NVMe SSD drives are recommended

Storage size

Depends on the chain and its traffic overtime

Please note that:

  • The minimum requirements for RAM and CPU listed here are recommended for nodes that handle a limited number of RPC requests. For nodes that need to process multiple simultaneous requests, both the RAM size and the number of CPU cores should be increased to accommodate higher levels of traffic.

  • Single core performance is important. If the node is falling behind and a single core is 100% busy, the recommendation is to upgrade to a faster processor

  • The minimum storage requirements will change over time as the chain grows. Using more than the minimum requirements to run a robust full node is recommended.
