How to start a Core Channel Node
Core channel nodes will stake and receive rewards, validate the network, control and manage the network, (iv) provide database and file storage services.
- The node operator must stake 200K ALEPH tokens to start the node
- Stakers must stake a minimum of 500K ALEPH tokens on the node before receiving rewards
- If you do not want to manage the node yourself, our partner NodeForge can provide a turnkey solution for a competitive price of $299.99/mo (hardware and maintenance)
- If you prefer managing your node, you'll need:
- 32 GB ram minimum; 64 GB ram recommended
- recent CPU with at least 4 cores
- 100 MB upload bandwidth minimum (ideally 1 GB)
- 4+ TB HDD or SSD (ideally with at least the system on an SSD)
