Minimum requirements are moving targets due to the nature of the project and some factors should be considered:
- compiling node sources locally requires processing and storage resources
- replicating the chainstate requires significant memory allocation (1.3+ GB)
- replicating the chainstate requires significant memory allocation (1,3+ GB)
- chainstate size grows over time, increasing the memory requirements
With these considerations in mind, we suggest hardware based on the general-purpose specification provided by GCP, the [E2 machine standard 2](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#general_purpose):
