CrossFi Snapshots
CrossFi testnet Snapshot
| Version | v0.3.0-prebuild3 |
| Creation Date | |
| Last Updated | |
| Block Number | 3072287 |
| Pruning mode | Pruned |
| Size | 1.7G |
How to use
Download the snapshot
wget https://snapshots.bwarelabs.com/crossfi/testnet/crossfi20240505.tar.lz4
If CrossFi was already on your machine, stop your CrossFi service
sudo systemctl stop crossfi.service
OR container
docker stop <CROSSFI_CONTAINER_NAME>
AND make sure there is no process running that might try to write to the database
ps -ef | grep crossfi
Make sure to backup your priv_validator_state.json file before deleting the contents of the data directory
mv <CROSSFI_HOME>/data/priv_validator_state.json <CROSSFI_HOME>
Make sure your crossfi data directory is clean (let us assume <CROSSFI_HOME> is your root CrossFi directory)
rm -rf <CROSSFI_HOME>/data/
Make sure you have lz4 installed
sudo apt-get install lz4
Decompress the archive
lz4 -c -d crossfi20240505.tar.lz4 | tar -x -C <CROSSFI_HOME>
Copy back the priv_validator_state.json file
rm <CROSSFI_HOME>/data/priv_validator_state.json
mv <CROSSFI_HOME>/data/priv_validator_state.json <CROSSFI_HOME>/data/
Start the CrossFi service OR container!

What is CrossFi snapshot?
Our CrossFi snapshot can be particularly valuable when syncing a new node to the testnet or mainnet network. Instead of downloading and validating the entire blockchain from scratch, a new node can use a snapshot to quickly synchronize within the network.
Why use our CrossFi snapshot?
Using our snapshots during the setup of full CrossFi chain nodes can significantly speed up the syncing process by skipping the validation of all data. This can greatly enhance the speed of the setup. Instead of syncing from scratch with other nodes, you can utilize our CrossFi snapshot to sync faster.
What is the block number of CrossFi Snapshot?
A node snapshot is a snapshot of the blockchain at a specific point in time, and it includes data and state of the blockchain up until that block number. The block number determines the specific point in the blockchain's history that the snapshot represents.
The current block number of CrossFi testnet snapshot is 3072287
The current block number of CrossFi mainnet snapshot is 6096682
How often is the CrossFi snapshot updated?
Regular updates are made to ensure accurate and up-to-date information. The frequency of the updates depends on the specific data being captured. We regularly update our snapshots to reflect the most recent and accurate state of the CrossFi chain.

How long does it take to restore a node using CrossFi Snapshot?
The time it takes to restore a node using a snapshot can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the snapshot file and the performance of the underlying hardware. In general, the process involves transferring the snapshot data to the node's storage and then initializing the node from that snapshot. For smaller snapshots, the restoration process can be relatively quick and may take just a few minutes. However, for larger snapshots or in cases where the network or storage infrastructure is slower, the restoration process can take longer, potentially several hours.
The CrossFi testnet size is 1.7G.
The CrossFi mainnet size is 46G.
What does it mean if a snapshot is pruned?
The pruning of a node snapshot refers to the process of removing unnecessary data from the blockchain database to optimize storage space while keeping the integrity of the data. Pruning allows nodes to store only the most essential information needed for the blockchain's operation while discarding older and less relevant data.

The CrossFi mainnet snapshot is pruned.
What is the main difference between pruned and archival nodes?
Pruned and archival node snapshots are two different approaches to storing blockchain data in a more efficient manner. Pruned node snapshots prioritize storage efficiency by discarding older transaction data, while archival node snapshots prioritize preserving the complete blockchain state.
