Setting up a Host

Host onboarding is temporailly suspended. It is expected to open again in the coming months
Onboarding is now open for Host nodes on the Edge network, with support for Linux based AMD64/ARM devices available.
You can access our Apt repository here: archive.edge.network​
Minimum Specifications
Our base recommendation is a device with the equivalent capacity of a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, with a 64GB SD.
Devices with higher performance/capacity will return a higher yield
