Snapshot

When a new node joins a network, it can use a snapshot — a compressed backup of the chain's data — to quickly synchronize with the current state. Snapshots expedite the process, reducing the need to download and verify every transaction from the beginning.

info

Choose a snapshot from the list and run the commands below. Don't forget to change <snapshot_url>.

sudo systemctl stop namadad

# make a backup
cp $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/cometbft/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/cometbft/priv_validator_state.json.backup

# delete your data and download snapshot
rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/db $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/cometbft/data
wget -O snapshot.tar <snapshot_url>
tar -xvf snapshot.tar -C $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663

# replace the priv_validator_state.json you have backed up
mv $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/cometbft/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.local/share/namada/public-testnet-15.0dacadb8d663/cometbft/data/priv_validator_state.json

sudo systemctl restart namadad && sudo journalctl -u namadad -f
