System Requirements

End Node

The recommended and minimum hardware specifications for operating the WEMIX3.0 blockchain end node are as follows. Both physical servers or cloud virtual machines (VMs) similar to the recommended specifications below can be used.

Recommended

• vCPU: 16 core

• RAM: 128 GB

• Storage: Minimum 1TB SSD (must be expandable periodically)

• Example: Azure Virtual Machine StandardE16dv4

Minimum

• vCPU: 8 core

• RAM: 64 GB

• Storage: Minimum 1TB SSD (must be expandable periodically)

• Example: Azure Virtual Machine StandardE8dv4

Storage

As the WEMIX network grows, so does the minimum storage requirements. We recommend using more than the minimum requirements to safely run the full nodes.

The storage growth rate varies according to the TPS and transaction size of the WEMIX3.0 blockchain, so full node operators should periodically check the disk size.

In general, you can operate with --gcmode full, which does not store the state information of all previous blocks, but if necessary, when operated with --gcmode archive, the chain data size increases several times faster than operating with --gcmode full. Thus, be careful about it.

Operating system

It is officially recommended to install and run in a Linux-based environment. We plan to provide support for other operating systems in the future.
