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.
