| 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                |
