Run a Robinhood Full Node
This guide provides step by step instructions for running a full node for Robinhood Chain on your local machine.
Why Run a Full Node?
Running your own Robinhood Chain full node provides several benefits:
- Transaction validation: Independently verify transactions and chain state
- Reduced trust: Interact with Robinhood Chain without relying on third party RPC providers
- Lower latency: Direct access to chain data for your applications
- Privacy: Your queries aren't logged by external providers
Don't want to run your own node? If you prefer managed infrastructure, you can use the public RPC endpoints or use third-party node provider options.
Hardware Requirements
The following are minimum requirements for running a Robinhood Chain full node:
| Resource | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | 4 cores | 8+ cores |
| RAM | 8 GB | 16+ GB |
| Storage | 100 GB SSD | 500+ GB NVMe SSD |
| Network | 10 Mbps | 100+ Mbps |
Storage requirements will grow over time as the chain accumulates state. NVMe SSDs are strongly recommended for optimal performance.
