There is no protocol level incentive to run a BOB full node. If you’re interested in accessing the BOB chain, but you don’t want to set up your own node, see our Node Providers to get RPC access to fully-managed nodes hosted by a third-party provider.
Requirements
As of August 2024 we recommend you have at least the following hardware configuration to run a node:
- at least 8 GB RAM
- an SSD, preferably NVME drive with at least 100 GB free
Software stack:

Please follow Conduit's node documentation for information on how to self-host a node for an OP Stack rollup deployed on Conduit such as BOB. Conduit extends Optimism's guide for running a node with Docker, the source of the specific hardware and software dependencies above.
