Requirements to run a node
Important
Paloma requires anyone wishing to run a full node to run two pieces of software.
Anyone who wishes to become a validator with stake in the network will additionally be required to have wallets with funds for all Paloma target chains. For more information on Pigeon, see Pigeon docs.
Hardware Requirements
Paloma is currently only available for Linux operating systems. Running a full Paloma node is a resource-intensive process that requires a persistent server, so please ensure your hardware fulfills the requirements below.
These are the the minimum requirements for running a full Paloma node:
- 4 or more CPU cores
- At least 32 GB of memory
- At least 300 mbps of network bandwidth
- At least 2 TB NVME SSD
Storage requirements
As the network grows, the minimum storage requirements will also grow. It is recommended that you use more than the minimum storage requirements to run a robust full node.
