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.

📘How to Use

Click on any snapshot to paste it into the code block.

info

Snapshots are taken every 6 hours.

sudo systemctl stop nibid

# make a backup
cp $HOME/.nibid/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.nibid/priv_validator_state.json.backup 

# reset your node and download a snapshot
nibid tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.nibid --keep-addr-book 
wget <snapshot_url> | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.nibid

# replace the priv_validator_state.json you have backed up
mv $HOME/.nibid/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.nibid/data/priv_validator_state.json 

sudo systemctl restart nibid && sudo journalctl -u nibid -f -o cat
