Node Requirements

Hardware requirements for nodes (RPC, validator, …) should be generally along the lines of the specs outlined below.

For specific node use cases (e.g. full history) specs may differ (and grow) over time.

Nodes should run (reasonably) well for own use with:

• CPU: 6+ cores
• Memory: 16GB+ (32GB advised)
• Disk IO: 10k random RW
• Disk size: 100GB+
• Filesystem: EXT4/XFS/…
• Network IO: 100Mbit+

Nodes for future (network growth) production use:

	Minimum	Preferred	Ideal
CPU	16 cores	20+ cores	40+ cores
Memory	32GB	64GB	128GB+
Disk IO	15k random RW	20k random RW	30k random RW
Disk Size	500GB	1TB	2TB
Filesystem	XFS	XFS	XFS
Network IO	500Mbit+	1Gbit	10Gbit
