Floresta

Bitcoin Nodes

Floresta is a lightweight, open-source Bitcoin full node implementation written in Rust, built around utreexo — a compact cryptographic accumulator that dramatically reduces the disk space required for validation. Unlike traditional full nodes that require hundreds of gigabytes of UTXO set storage, Floresta validates all Bitcoin transactions with a fraction of the resource footprint. Developed by Davidson Souza, it is designed to bring full validation to low-resource environments including single-board computers and mobile devices.

More Bitcoin Nodes

MyNode

Open-source Bitcoin node with dedicated hardware (Model Two: Intel N100, 16GB, 2TB) or free community software for any hardware. Features Lightning, Electrum Server, BTCPay, and more.

Start9

Start9 Server One is the flagship hardware node from Start9, running StartOS — their sovereign computing operating system. The 2025/2026 Server One features an AMD Ryzen processor, up to 32GB RAM, and up to 4TB SSD storage, making it powerful enough to run Bitcoin Core, a Lightning node, Electrs, and dozens of self-hosted apps simultaneously. Unlike Raspberry Pi-based nodes, the Server One is purpose-built for 24/7 operation with redundant power and enterprise-grade reliability for serious Bitcoin node operators.

Umbrel

The most popular plug-and-play Bitcoin node. Umbrel Home runs a full Bitcoin node with Lightning, built-in app store, and beautiful UI. Intel N150, 16GB RAM, 2-4TB storage. Also offers free Umbrel OS for DIY setups.
