Minimum Requirements for Storage Nodes Eligibility
Overview
Based on the testnet providers, the minimum values required to be eligible for a node provider are as follows which are subject to change based on good feedbacks:
info
The minimum requirements are of 20Mbps r/w and upload/download are for a 1TB node. For higher amount of storage provided, please make sure the read/write and upload/download speeds should increase proportionately with the amount of storage provided.
Minimum values
Storage capacity: 900 GB
Upload Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Download Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Read Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Write Speed: 20 Mbps or 2.5 MB/s
Uptime Percent: 90%
Storage Used: no minimum set, will increase with usage
Demand percent: no minimum set, will increase with usage

Amount of IAG to be staked = 2981.25
where,
Base USD staked per GB = 0.5
IAG value = 0.16 USD
alpha = 0.9
Above scores and Amount of IAG to be staked are calculated from the formulas here.
Comparison between two Iagon Nodes
When comparing two Iagon Nodes, consider the following aspects:
Processing Power and Capacity
- Assess the computational capacity of each node.
- Compare their processing power (CPU) and available memory (RAM).
- Nodes with higher processing capabilities have higher read/write capability.
Storage Resources
- Evaluate the storage capacity of each node.
- Compare available disk space (SSD, HDD) and data redundancy mechanisms.
- Nodes with larger storage can accommodate more data.
Network Latency and Bandwidth
- Consider network performance.
- Compare latency (response time) and available bandwidth.
- Nodes with low latency and high bandwidth contribute to efficient data exchange.
Reliability and Uptime
- Assess the reliability of each node.
- Compare uptime (availability) and historical performance.
- Reliable nodes contribute to a stable network.
Geographical Distribution
- Nodes may be distributed globally.
- Compare their geographical locations.
- Nodes closer to users reduce latency and improve content delivery.
Following table is comparison between two nodes with different storage size and different capacities.
