Setup Requirements

Setup Requirements

Swarm’s Setup Requirements ensure that nodes joining the network meet the necessary performance, security, and reliability standards. These requirements are validated through automated checks and tests during the setup process.

Component	Requirement	Validation
Hardware	GPU/CPU specs based on provider type (e.g., Individual, Data Center, Edge).	Automated check during the system diagnostic phase to confirm compatibility and capabilities.
Network	Minimum 1Gbps+ connection for stable and fast data transfer.	Speed test to measure bandwidth, latency, and connectivity.
Storage	NVMe SSD for high-speed data read/write operations.	Performance test to validate storage speed and reliability.
Security	TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) for cryptographic security and secure boot processes.	Security scan to ensure compliance with Swarm’s encryption and authentication protocols.
