snapshot is a copy of the Polkadot relay chain

A snapshot is a copy of the Polkadot relay chain state at a given moment in time. It includes information about the relay chain, validators, and parachains. A snapshot is used to help new validators join the network and to recover from network outages.

Validator nodes must have a minimum of 4GB of RAM and 20GB of storage. They must also be connected to the Internet with a static IP address.

As the Polkadot network grows, so does the demand for Polkadot validators. If you're thinking about becoming a Polkadot validator, now is a great time to take a snapshot of the validator landscape.

In this article, we'll take a look at what Polkadot validators are, how they work, and what you need to know before becoming one.
