Most people who say they need a TRON node need a Lite FullNode, which starts from a snapshot of a few dozen gigabytes. If you need deep history, the full chain is about 3 TB and wants a dedicated server. Lite from $28 a month, full history from $140.

Starts from a state snapshot (tens of GB) instead of replaying the chain. Serves current state, not deep history.

The full-history chain is about 3 TB, more than any single drive here, so you stripe two or more drives into one volume.
Configure and orderBoth run the same java-tron client. The difference is how much data they start with.
A Lite FullNode boots from a state snapshot that contains the current state and the most recent 65,536 blocks, about 54 hours. TRON’s own documentation puts that snapshot at roughly 52 GB in May 2026, a few percent of a full-history snapshot. Historical-query APIs are disabled by default. It is the right choice for a wallet backend, a payment checkout that watches addresses, or a bot that sends transactions. Third-party guides recommend 300 to 500 GB of NVMe so the data can grow, 8 to 16 cores and 16 to 32 GB of RAM, which is why we offer an 8 vCPU, 32 GB, 400 GB VPS for it.
This one stores the whole chain from genesis, or boots from a full snapshot. The official snapshot was about 3 TB in May 2026, and a guide updated for 2026 suggests planning for 4 TB. Block explorers, indexers and Super Representatives run it because they answer historical queries. It needs 16 cores and 32 GB of RAM at the least.
No single drive in our dedicated range holds 3 TB (the biggest is 4 TB on the X-Large; the Large has four 2 TB drives), so on the Large you stripe two or more drives into one volume with LVM or software RAID 0. That has no redundancy, so keep the snapshot source handy. For more headroom, the X-Large has four 4 TB drives.
You may see a Lite node quoted at 1.3 TB. TRON’s own figures for a Lite snapshot are in the tens of gigabytes. If a quote asks you for terabytes to run a Lite node, check it against the source below.

It is a java-tron node that boots from a snapshot of the current state plus the latest 65,536 blocks (about 54 hours) instead of replaying the whole chain. Historical-query APIs are disabled by default, so it suits wallets, payment checkouts and bots rather than explorers.
A Lite FullNode, yes: our 8 vCPU, 32 GB, 400 GB NVMe VPS is $28 a month. A full-history node does not fit on a VPS because the chain is about 3 TB and our largest VPS disk is 1 TB.
Guides recommend 16 to 32 GB for a Lite FullNode and 32 GB or more for a full-history node, and 8 to 16 cores. A node that produces blocks needs more.
Port 18888 for peers, 8090 for the HTTP API and 50051 for gRPC by default. Open 18888 for peers and expose the APIs only to your own application.
