Hello! I can't seem to find anything discussing the hardware requirements for running a node. I'm assuming it's as big as an Execution node, but I'd rather confirm with someone and get a little more cemented on what exactly is required. Thanks!

Hi @joshcaskiefoundry !

For now, the requirements are similar to those of running an execution node, but in the near future running a Flow DPS node should be much easier. The future requirements are not yet known however.

At the moment I'd recommend at least 128GB of RAM for a Flow DPS node if it needs to be in sync with the latest sporks, as well as a few TB of storage.
