Download a Snapshot

ℹ If your node is close to the newest block height (about several hours to catch up) or already caught up, you don’t need to do anything; sit and wait.

Download the snapshot using the torrent (updated at 4/30/2022): here

The download will take a while, as the file is large. Get some ☕ in the meantime.

ℹ The snapshot archive is ~750 GB; if you don’t have enough space, consider extracting to an external storage.

To extract the file execute:

tar -xvzf khala-node-snapshot-2022-04-30.tar.gz

The extraction will take a while to complete as well. After extraction, you should get a folder named khala-node. You can list your files with ls to verify where you extracted the snapshot.
