Requirements

Minimum CAPS requirements​

The minimum amount of CAPS required to run a validator on Ternoa is 150 000 CAPS.

Hardware Recommendations​

For the minimum specification, we recommend:

  • 2 core machine (with a newish server CPU)
  • 4 GB DDR4/DDR5 ECC RAM
  • 80GB SSD storage.

For optimal server we recommend:

  • 4 core machine (with a newish server CPU)
  • 4GB DDR4/DDR5 ECC RAM
  • 160GB SSD storage.

It’s implied that using a slower or older server CPU might not produce desired results.

Besides server grade equipment, using newish Intel i3 series or AMD Ryzen 3 series CPUs would be more than sufficient to run our node.
