Hardware recommendations
A current independent full node can run on a modest dedicated VPS:
- 2+ vCPU
- 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB preferred
- 40+ GB SSD, with room for chain growth
- Public IPv4 if you want inbound peers on port 9333
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is the documented operator target
Do not share disks or wallets with retired Mainnet v1 data directories.
