Hi,
Where we can find more information about the Elixxir network details, node local network requirements, energy consumption in comparison with other Blockchains?
Thanks.

The general information is here: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/4816439/BetaNet%20Node%20Rollout/Elixxir%20BetaNet%20Nodes%20Guide.pdf
I don’t believe we have published specifics on energy consumption, although our thought process is laid out here: https://elixxir.io/blog/elixxir-is-different-so-its-nodes-are-different
We will have more guidance on these topics once we have completed the BetaNet node selection process.
