Operating a tokenized economy at scale demands serious computational firepower. Validators keeping these networks alive—ensuring fast settlement and minimal latency—can't skimp on hardware. You're looking at enterprise-grade servers, professional data center infrastructure, and rock-solid network connectivity. That's the baseline. The infrastructure game is evolving fast. As transaction volumes spike and networks compete on throughput, validator requirements keep climbing. It's not just about spinning up a node anymore—it's about having the right physical setup backing it.
