# Hardware Requirements for GR1D Circuit Node

**GR1D Circuit Node Hardware Requirements**

To ensure optimal performance, each GR1D Circuit Node must meet the following minimum requirements:

| **Specification** | **Requirement**                |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------ |
| RAM               | 4 GB                           |
| Processor         | 2 CPU Cores                    |
| Storage           | 60 GB of disk space            |
| Processor Type    | Supports x86/X64 architectures |
| Internet          | Requires a stable connection   |

These requirements are designed to handle typical tasks such as transaction validation, state synchronization, and interacting with cross-chain components within the GR1D Network.

For additional assistance, run the following command:

```bash
./gr1d-node --help
```

**Deployment Options:**

* You can deploy your node on a **VPS** (Virtual Private Server) or through a **NaaS** (Node as a Service) provider.
* Ensure that the machine meets the minimum specifications for running multiple licenses efficiently.
