  1. Introduction

Hardware requirements

Adhering to minimum technical standards is crucial. Failing to meet these can affect the entire network performance and lead your Delegate node being probed for six blockchain epochs without reward, if it's unable to generate blocks on time.

Recommended Hardware Specifications

For optimal performance, especially during high blockchain traffic, consider the following recommended setup. This ensures reliability and efficiency for your delegate infrastructure, particularly if you aim to be a consistent block producer.

Monitoring & Alerting

Docker

  • Maintain 99.99% server uptime.

  • Implement failover and data backup across different geolocations.

  • Prioritize security with preventive measures.

  • Regularly support and update node software.

Redundancy and Security

A primary server with one or more backup servers, all secured behind a firewall, is advised. This configuration aids in uninterrupted operation during software upgrades.
