# System Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The system requirements for Pantheon depend on a number of factors:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Size of the world state for the network
|
||
|
|
* Number of transactions submitted to network
|
||
|
|
* Block gas limit
|
||
|
|
* Number and complexity of [JSON-RPC](../Pantheon-API/Using-JSON-RPC-API.md), [PubSub](../Pantheon-API/RPC-PubSub.md),
|
||
|
|
or [GraphQL](../Pantheon-API/GraphQL.md) queries being handled by the node
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Determining System Requirements
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To determine system requirements, monitor CPU and disk space requirements using [Prometheus](https://docs.pantheon.pegasys.tech/en/stable/Monitoring/Monitoring-Performance/#monitor-node-performance-using-prometheus).
|
||
|
|
A sample [Grafana dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/10273) is provided for Pantheon.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
!!! tip
|
||
|
|
CPU requirements are highest when syncing to the network and typically reduce once the node is synchronized to the chain head.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## RAM
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Pantheon requires 4GB of RAM. For Ethereum Mainnet, a minimum of 8GB of RAM is required
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Disk Space
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Syncing to the Ethereum mainnet requires 3TB for a full sync.
