Snapshot

Check MetaData ;

npx
wget -O metadata.txt "https://quicksync.exoscan.org/s/jeex74GPkSfmxSn/download?path=/snapshots&files=metadata.txt"
cat metadata.txt

📌 Things to check:

  • Chain ID: It should be exocoretestnet_233-7 .
  • Block Number:
npx
exocored query block | jq -r .block.header.height
  • If the block number shown here is lower than the one in metadata.txt, the snapshot will be useful.

Download the Snapshot :

npx
rm -rf $HOME/snapshot.tar.lz4
wget -O $HOME/snapshot.tar.lz4 "https://quicksync.exoscan.org/s/jeex74GPkSfmxSn/download?path=/snapshots&files=exocoretestnet_233-7-pruned.tar.lz4"

Stop the Node

  • Now, extract the snapshot:
npx
tar --use-compress-program=lz4 -xvf $HOME/snapshot.tar.lz4 -C $HOME/
