Download the latest chaindata snapshot from the Mainnet snapshot archive. 0) Before proceeding, please check if your disk space is enough to store and extract the Mainnet chaindata. ** You can refer to the chaindata size via Mainnet snapshot archive, which lists every published snapshot with its compressed size, its extracted size and its checksum. 1) Download the snapshot ** Please note that this step will take a lot of time to download: the snapshot is over 2.2 TB compressed and expands to about 2.8 TB, so we recommend using a temporary disk for downloading. If you want to reduce the time, please refer the next step. ** The latest chaindata name can be different with this example due to the date information. $ URL=`curl -s https://snapshots.node.kaia.io/mainnet/pruning-chaindata/latest.txt` $ echo $URL https://kaia-chaindata-r2-logging.kaia-foundation.workers.dev/mainnet/pruning/kaia-mainnet-pruning-chaindata-20260918010012.tar.zst $ wget $URLhttps://workshop-temp.node.kaia.io/mainnet/30_download_chaindata/20_unarchive_chaindata/index.htmlMon, 11 Jul 2022 15:43:06 +0900https://workshop-temp.node.kaia.io/mainnet/30_download_chaindata/20_unarchive_chaindata/index.html2. Extract the downloaded chaindata to the DATA_DIR (/kaia/kcnd/data). $ sudo tar --zstd -C /kaia/kcnd/data -xvf kaia-mainnet-pruning-chaindata-20260918010012.tar.zst --exclude klay/chaindata/receipts ** Snapshots are compressed with zstd, so tar needs --zstd. If your tar was built without it, run sudo yum install zstd and extract in two steps: zstd -d <file>.tar.zst -o out.tar && sudo tar -C /kaia/kcnd/data -xf out.tar --exclude klay/chaindata/receipts. ** If the disk has no room for both the archive and the directory it expands into, download and extract in one pass instead of doing step A first. $ URL=`curl -s https://snapshots.node.kaia.io/mainnet/pruning-chaindata/latest.txt` $ curl -s $URL | sudo tar --zstd -C /kaia/kcnd/data -xf - --exclude klay/chaindata/receipts
