Use Chaindata Snapshots

You can start a node from an already-synced database called a chaindata snapshot. A chaindata snapshot is a compressed Xphere data directory.

Download the fullsync File​

Download a compressed file to the new directory. URLs can be found at the bottom of this page.

  • Option 1. curl

    curl -O https://storage.googleapis.com/xphere-mainnet/xphere-mainnet-chaindata-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.gz

Decompress the File​

  • Option 1. tar 
    tar -xvf Xphere-mainnet-chaindata-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.gz

Apply the Chaindata Snapshot​

note

The "original data directory" means the DATA_DIR you have configured for your node.

Follow these steps to safely replace your node's data with a chaindata snapshot:

First step: Stop your node completely.

Second step: Delete the existing chaindata directory in your DATA_DIR.

rm -rf /DATA_DIR/chaindata
  • Replace /DATA_DIR with the actual path you use for your node's data directory.

Third step: Move the extracted chaindata to your DATA_DIR.

mv /path/to/extracted/chaindata /DATA_DIR/xphere/chaindata
  • Replace /path/to/extracted/chaindata with the path where you extracted the tar.gz file.

Fourth step (optional): Delete the tar.gz file and any old data.

rm Xphere-mainnet-chaindata-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.tar.gz
# Remove old data if needed

Final step: Restart your node.

./xend start

By following these steps, you can quickly start your node with the latest chaindata snapshot, safely replacing the old data in your configured DATA_DIR.
