System Requirements

Autonomi nodes are designed to be run on everyday devices, so we can all contribute to an alternative future of the Internet, with the devices we already have and not just rely on data centres and specialised equipment.

Part of the objectives of the Beta is to test on a variety of devices. Typical home computers like what you already own. So we’d encourage you to give it a go regardless of what system you are running. Members of our Forum community regularly operate nodes on everything from RaspberryPis, to gaming PCs, old laptops, and even some adapted phones!

But as a starting point, we’ve built the Node Launchpad to run on the following systems with ease.

Windows (Windows 10+), Mac (MacOS 14 Sonoma), and Linux (Ubuntu 24.04) computers with:

• 4 core CPU: Intel, AMD or Apple

• 8 GB ram

• At least 35 GB spare hard drive space

• 8 Mbps Up/Down Internet service

Compatible Wallets

You will also need an Ethereum Wallet to receive and hold tokens earned by your node. Any Ethereum wallet address will work but more specifically, in order to see your node's earnings and later receive your rewards you will need a wallet capable of holding Ethereum ERC20 Tokens on the Arbitrum blockchain. MetaMask is a good example of a widely used wallet that is compatible with Autonomi Network Tokens. Read our step-by-step guide to create a MetaMask wallet if you'd like help setting one up.
