EIP-7870 sets role-based hardware recommendations for Ethereum nodes
- —Full nodes recommended 4 TB NVMe; attesters and builders need 64 GB RAM and 8-core/16-thread CPU
- —Bandwidth: full node 50/15 Mbps, attester 50/25 Mbps, builder 100/50 Mbps
- —EIP-7870 is informational and does not require protocol changes
- —Official minimum node spec is 2 TB NVMe and 16 GB RAM; recommended is 4 TB and 32 GB
Why it matters: The guidance helps node operators choose hardware and compare client performance, reducing the risk of delayed block propagation.
