In order to maintain quality service across the Audius protocol, service hardware requirements are enforced by the on-chain governance protocol.

The minimum resource requirements per registered node are as follows.

  • a public DNS endpoint with SSL support
  • operations support to enable high uptime and availability
  • datacenter-quality internet connection (eg. AWS, GCP, or similar)
