📋About This Page

Running a Minima node is straightforward and can be done on various platforms including desktop computers, mobile devices, Raspberry Pi, and cloud servers. Each node is a full node, contributing to the network's decentralization and security.

As of 2026, the Minima network is secured by over 100,000+ node operators globally, making it one of the largest decentralized networks in the DePIN space.
