System Requirements

For a full web node, you need at least ...GB of disk space available. The block log of the blockchain itself is a little over ...GB. It's highly recommended to run taraxad on a fast disk such as an SSD. At least ...GB of memory is required for a full web node. Any CPU with decent single core performance should be sufficient. Taraxa is constantly growing, so you may find you need more disk space to run a full node. We are also constantly working on optimizing Taraxa's use of disk space.
