System Requirements

Before we can start earning, we check your device:

What We Need

Golem Node Requirements (Linux Only):

  • OS: Linux (Ubuntu 18.04+ works best) - Currently the only supported network

  • CPU: 2+ cores with virtualization support (VMX/SVM)

  • RAM: 4GB minimum, 8GB recommended

  • Storage: 20GB free space

  • Internet: Stable connection

  • Virtualization: KVM support (automatically installed)

What Golem Uses:

  • CPU: 1-4 cores (we adjust based on your system)

  • RAM: 2-8GB (flexible based on what you have)

  • Storage: 10-50GB for tasks

  • Network: Stable internet for work distribution

If your system doesn't meet requirements, we'll tell you exactly what needs upgrading and why the node can't start.

Note: For the PoC, we only support Golem Network on Linux systems. The desktop app works on all platforms, but the nodes only run on Linux.

First Run

Once everything checks out:

  1. Wallet created: We generate a secure wallet for you.

  2. Node deployed: Golem provider starts running.

  3. Connection established: Your device connects to the network.

  4. Dashboard ready: Start monitoring your earnings.

Everything happens automatically. No technical setup needed.
