Archive Node

Unlike a standard full node, an archive node does not prune older blocks, storing all block headers and coin proofs from the moment it was started. Full transaction details are still pruned after two months.

System requirements

Anyone can run an archive node from a desktop or server.

The following assumes that only XRP is running on the server, you should consider increasing the RAM and storage depending on the requirements for other software you install e.g. virus protection etc

Processing: 2 CPU
Memory: 4GB RAM
Storage: 5GB storage

Ports

If running an archive node on a desktop, no port forwarding is required.

If running a public archive node on a server, open inbound connections on port 9001 (or the main custom XRP port you have chosen).
