### Can I run a Sui validator node?

We now have a public [Sui DevNet](../explore/devnet.md) with nodes operated by Mysten Labs. Soon we will have a TestNet that allow others to operate Sui nodes, but both are on our [roadmap](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/blob/main/ROADMAP.md#roadmap). Right now, you can run a local, non-networked Sui node for development. Check out our [Wallet](https://docs.sui.io/build/wallet) documentation to get started. You can interact with the local node via either the [Wallet CLI](../build/wallet#command-line-mode) or [RPC API](../build/json-rpc).

### What does a local node do and what are the hardware requirements to run it? How is it different from a testnet node?

To be blunt: even if we preferred the EVM/Solidity to Move, we could not use them in Sui without sacrificing the performance breakthroughs that make Sui unique. And of course, we think there are many reasons why Move is a safer and more developer-friendly language than the EVM.

See [Why move?](../learn/why-move) for more details on this. In addition, see the [Move Problem Statement](https://github.com/MystenLabs/awesome-move/blob/main/docs/problem_statement.md) for why we think that - despite being the most popular smart contract language of today - EVM is holding back the crypto space.

Finally, the EVM developer community is very small--approximately 4,000 programmers according to [this study](https://medium.com/electric-capital/electric-capital-developer-report-2021-f37874efea6d). Compare this to (e.g.) the [>20M registered iOS developers](https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/04/app-store-hits-20m-registered-developers-at-100b-in-revenues-500m-visitors-per-week/#:~:text=Today%20at%20WWDC%2C%20Apple's%20CEO,500%20million%20visitors%20per%20week.). Thus, the practical path to scaling the smart contract dev community is to bring folks in from the broader population, not to pull them from the tiny pool of existing Solidity developers. We think Move is much safer and much more approachable for mainstream programmers than the EVM.
