Running a Node

As Wasp is an INX plugin, you must run the wasp node alongside your hornet nodeA community-developed IOTA Node written in the Go programming language. Additionally, the coordinator runs as a plugin via Hornet.. You can use the simple docker-compose setup to do so.

We recommend that you run the docker image on a server with:

  • CPU: 8 core.
  • RAM: 16 GB.
  • Disk space: ~ 250 GB SSD, depending on your pruning configuration.

Set Up​

Follow the instructions on the hornet setup.
