Node requirements
What a validator needs to run: compute, memory, disk, bandwidth, operating system, and a supported client. Figures below are indicative for testnet.
Specification
Hardware and network.
Sized for a testnet validator. Confirm against the docs before provisioning — these are starting points, not guarantees.
CPU8 cores// indicative — confirm
RAM32 GB// indicative — confirm
Disk2 TB NVMe// indicative — confirm
Bandwidth100 Mbps symmetric// indicative — confirm

Supported clients—// indicative — confirm
Indicative — testnet
These figures are indicative and apply to the current testnet. Disk in particular grows with chain history; size for headroom. The confirmed, versioned hardware and client matrix is published in the docs and takes precedence over this page.Provision, then run.
Confirm the matrix in the docs, then bring up a testnet node from the quickstart.
