Staking Requirements
To operate a Turf Node as a validator, the following staking requirements must be met:
-
Node License Token: Stake at least 1 Node License Token (ERC-721).
-
xT Token: For specialized nodes, an additional stake of 'Y' number of TURF tokens is required
Hardware Requirements
Avalanche is an incredibly lightweight protocol, so nodes can run on commodity hardware with the following minimum specifications.
-
CPU: Equivalent of 8 AWS vCPU
-
RAM: 16 GiB
-
Storage: 1 TiB
-
OS: Ubuntu 20.04 or MacOS >= 12
-
Network: sustained 5Mbps up/down bandwidth
The node should be configured to accept incoming TCP/IP connections on port 9651
.
Next Steps
If you are sure to meet all the requirements you can now go ahead and start spinning up your validator node for the Turf Network.
