Starting a Signum-Node

2min

The Signum Node is an integral part of the Signum network. It loads and synchronizes the entire blockchain, including wallet functionality and 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 must install your device's latest release.

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

node.properties
