# Node Requirements

## Hardware Requirements

### Single Node

The hardware or machine used to run single nodes on Vince Chain nodes must meet the following requirements: 

| Component        | Requirement                          |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| CPU Cores        | 4 or more                            |
| CPU              | \~2.4 GHz                            |
| RAM              | At least 16GB (32GB recommended)     |
| Hard Disk        | 500GB SSD or \~200GB free disk space |
| Network Bandwith | 100mbps                              |

### Multi-Node

Your device must have the following requirements to enable it to run multi-nodes on Vince Chain successfully.

| Component        | Requirement              |
| ---------------- | ------------------------ |
| CPU Cores        | 8 or more                |
| CPU              | \~2.4GHz                 |
| RAM              | 64GB or more             |
| Hard Disk        | At least 500 - 800GB SSD |
| Network Bandwith | \~100 mbps               |

The above requirements may increase with the increasing usage of Vince Chain. Any future updates on the node requirements will be made available via this documentation.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://charles-the-king.gitbook.io/vince-chain-technical-documentation/node-requirements.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
