Evmos Core Team Snapshots

Altiplanic (Evmos Core team) provides pruned and archive snapshots. They can be downloaded using the BackBlaze CLI tool:

• Steps for pruned snapshots (goleveldb)

1. Install the B2 command-line tool
2. Authenticate using the following command:

b2 authorize-account 004d09b92c841240000000007 K004+SV4bZKkBuwjdwnjtFidMdISWf4

1. Download the data using the following command:

b2 sync b2://evmos-pruned-mainnet-snapshot <destination_path>

• Steps for archive snapshots (PebbleDB)

1. Install the B2 command-line tool
2. Authenticate using the following command:

b2 authorize-account 004d09b92c841240000000006 K0048Rp2re6yLYzsTCKzrMYZmoWOgEM

1. Download the data using the following command:

b2 sync b2://evmos-archive-mainnet-snapshot <destination_path>

PebbleDB

To use PebbleDB instead of GoLevelDB when using snapshots from Notional:

The build instructinos are in the alternative dbs section.

Download snapshot:

cd $HOME/.evmosd/
URL_SNAPSHOT="https://snapshot.notional.ventures/evmos/data_20221024_193254.tar.gz"
wget -O - "$URL_SNAPSHOT" |tar -xzf -

Start:

Set db_backend = "pebbledb" in config.toml or start with --db_backend=pebbledb

evmosd start --db_backend=pebbledb

Note: use this workaround when upgrading a node running PebbleDB.
