State sync

info

State synchronization enables a new node to seamlessly integrate into the network by retrieving a snapshot of the application state at a recent height, rather than fetching and replaying all historical blocks. Given that the application state is typically more compact than the blocks themselves, and the restoration process is significantly quicker than block replay, this method can drastically diminish the network synchronization duration from days to mere minutes.

Instructionsโ€‹

Stop the service and reset the dataโ€‹

sudo systemctl stop initiad
cp $HOME/.initia/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.initia/priv_validator_state.json.backup
initiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --keep-addr-book --home $HOME/.initia

Get and configure the state sync informationโ€‹

Download latest wasmโ€‹

info

Currently state sync does not support copy of the wasm folder. Therefore, you will have to download it manually.

curl -L https://snapshots.owlstake.com/initiation-1/wasm_latest.tar.lz4 | lz4 -dc - | tar -xf - -C $HOME/.initia

Restart the service and check the logโ€‹

sudo systemctl start initiad && sudo journalctl -u initiad -f --no-hostname -o cat
