The plan you opt for will depend on the number of wallet nodes you'll want to run. We recommend starting with the 48$ option.

  • Select the 'Shared CPU / Basic' category
  • Next, 'CPU options > Regular Intel with SSD' as the CPU option
  • Then, '$48/mo - 8 GB / 4 CPUs' for your droplet size

Then, under the Authentication section, choose 'SSH keys' and click 'New SSH Key'.

  • Name it
  • Click 'Add SSH Key':
