It can be scaled up easily, which is why it is the foundation of all SafeCoin projects. [Learn more about SafeCoin](https://www.safecoin.org/#c2247) ### What do I need to run as SafeCoin validator? To run as SafeCoin validator you need a CPU with 2 Core with AVX support, a minimum 8GB memorycard, 20GB (for pruned) or 2TB (for full-history) and bandwidth of minimum 5 Mbps. For further information see also what we propose on [staking SafeCoin](https://www.safecoin.org/stake/). Besides, we strongly recommend you to take a look at our [validator set up instructions](https://www.safecoin.org/knowledge-base/validator-set-up-instructions/) to get more information on how to set up your validator. ### Where can I buy a SafeCoin Nano Ledger? You can, in example, buy your SafeCoin branded Ledger in our [SafeShop](https://shop.safely.org/). ### What is the difference between a pruned and a full-history validator? Running a full-history node on the network helps increase the decentralization of SafeCoin. A full-history node records and maintains a full copy of the SafeCoin ledger. Besides, there are some differences in the hardware requirements, with the pruned one being less demanding in terms of ssd capacity.
