Starting a Signum-Node

The Signum Node is an integral part of the Signum network. It loads and synchronizes the entire blockchain and includes also wallet functionality as also the REST API. The hardware requirements are not demanding for the node:

  • Minimum: 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB HD 
  • Recommendation: 2 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB HD

The two supported database backends are:

  • H2 (embedded)
  • MariaDB ( recommended) and public nodes

MariaDB (Recommended)

If you like to use MariaDB you need to install the latest release on your device

The MariaDb installation will ask to setup a password for the root user. Add this password to the node.properties file you will create when installing Signum-Node:

node.properties
