FAQ

How many nodes can I apply to operate?

Maximum of 5

What happens if I operate a Testnet node but fail to operate a Mainnet node?

Your VDA tokens will be released to your wallet once the Foundational Node Operators go live on Mainnet.

Will I need to meet certain uptime or performance requirements?

Yes, you will need to meet specific operational benchmarks to qualify to operate a Mainnet Node.

What hardware requirements are needed to run a Verida Node?

A small Verida node can run on a VM with as little as 2GB of RAM and a single core. This is sufficient for light casual use by a few hundred users.

The most important consideration in determining hardware requirements is the number of user operations per-second the node will support.

Verida Mainnet storage nodes are 4 core 8 GB VMs.

What are the storage requirements for a Verida Node?

At network launch, the data stored per application is limited. We recommend 4MB per user.

Do we support ARM servers?

We have not yet validated all components on ARM servers. Please discuss on Discord if you are interested in trying this.
