System requirements

The following are the minimum system requirements for running a full node, with Teku as a beacon node and validator client:

  • CPU: 4 cores at 2.8 GHz
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Storage: SSD with 2 TB free space
  • Operating system: 64-bit Linux or macOS
  • Internet: Broadband internet connection (10 Mbps)
Windows is not supported

Teku does not support Windows. Windows users may switch to using Docker, Windows Subsystem for Linux, or other supported operating systems.

note

We also recommend that you have an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) to ensure your node is always available. However, this is not required.

You can use Prometheus to check CPU and disk space requirements for Teku. Grafana provides a sample Teku dashboard.
