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

Select a snapshot from the list to view the relevant configuration commands.

# Install required dependencies

wget -O geth_snapshot.lz4 https://snapshots2.mandragora.io/story/geth_snapshot.lz4
wget -O story_snapshot.lz4 https://snapshots2.mandragora.io/story/story_snapshot.lz4

# Decompress story-geth and story snapshots
lz4 -c -d geth_snapshot.lz4 | tar -xv -C $HOME/.story/geth/odyssey/geth
lz4 -c -d story_snapshot.lz4 | tar -xv -C $HOME/.story/story

# Delete downloaded story-geth and story snapshots
