People were successful at running a node on Raspberry Pis, for instance. 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) -- chainstate size grows over time, increasing the memory requirements +- compiling node sources locally requires computing and storage resources +- as the chain grows, the on-disk state will grow over time -With these considerations in mind, we suggest hardware based on a general-purpose specification provided by GCP, the [E2 machine standard 2](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#general_purpose): +With these considerations in mind, we suggest hardware based on a general-purpose specification, similarly to [GCP E2 machine standard 2](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#general_purpose) or [AWS EC2 t3.large standard](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/): - 2 vCPUs - 8 GB memory
