How many addressed can be added to a bitcoin full node?

575 Views Asked by At

I'm running a Bitcoin full node on my server. I'm going to use this server as a light wallet api server using RCP methods. And I'm going to add an address to the node whenever a light wallet generates a new address to track all transactions and unspent outputs of the address.

And I'm wondering how many addresses can be added to a full node?

Is it limitless or is there a maximum number?

And does the number of addresses added to the node affect the performance of the node?

And for some reason I can't use addressindex feature of bitcore, so I'm going to use importaddress, listunspent and listtransactions methods.

There is no software limit. The system is limited by disk space, used for the file wallet.dat. Practically, wallet.dat can contain 300,000 addresses, or even more.
