What is the hardware requirements for running Checker Node Client

The minimum requirements for a single license are as follows:

  • 64MB RAM

  • 1 x86 CPU Core @ 2.1GHz

  • 10GB Disk Space

  • 10Mbps Internet Connection

Please note that these resources scale linearly, meaning 100 licenses will require 100 times each of the listed resources. You can run up to 100 licenses on a single machine. However, increasing the number of licenses on a single node will also increase the throughput required for the Checker Client, including hashing submissions and submitting claims to the chain.

It is important to note that these requirements are for running the Checker Client exclusively, without other major tasks consuming resources. If your machine does not meet these requirements, licenses may go offline, produce incorrect task results, reduce rewards, or even lead to banned licenses.

In future releases, you will need to pass the minimum hardware check before you could accept license delegations. Please plan ahead!

Alternatively, users can deploy on a VPS or through a NaaS provider and you can run up to 100 licenses on a single server.
