Rapid Node Initialization
To help developers and validators quickly join the Pharos Network without syncing from genesis, we provide regularly updated snapshot datasets for each network. These snapshots contain pre-synced state data and allow rapid setup of Devnet, Testnet, or Mainnet nodes.
⚠️ Snapshots should only be used from trusted sources. Always verify integrity before replacing production data.

💡 Notes & Best Practices
Snapshots currently contain the full block history. In the future, we will support pruned snapshots that include only the most recent blocks and state.
Archive nodes should still sync from genesis.
After applying a snapshot, the node will continue syncing to the latest height.
Always ensure your snapshot corresponds to the correct network and version.
