Requirements

• An Akroma wallet with the required collateral amount.

  • Note: It is imperative to avoid managing this wallet on the masternode instance itself, as this opens up a security risk if your wallet is ever unlocked. See https://w.akroma.io as an alternative.

• Collateral amount for running a masternode is 5000 AKA.

  • Note: 5001 AKA is recommended as a minimum.

• Dedicated computer or server instance running the Linux operating system with access to the internet.

  • Something tried and true like Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, or an easily deployable flavor is recommended but not required.

  • In order to run the setup in this guide, your distro must use either yum or apt as it’s package manager and either have installed or allow for installation of systemd.

• A static IP and open port between the range of 1024 and 65535 for your dedicated server.

  • The default port for listening on the masternode instance is 8545. You may choose to override this port in your deployment.

• A Facebook, Twitter, Google or email address to sign up with.

Minimum recommended specifications for servers running a masternode:

• CPU: Single Core

• RAM: 1024 MB

• Storage: 25 GB SSD
