Snapshots

Snapshots provide a quick way to bootstrap your node’s state by downloading a pre-synchronized version of the blockchain data. This reduces the time and resources required to sync from the genesis block. Different networks—mainnet and testnet snapshots for various use cases. Some snapshots are pruned (minimal historical data), others retain default state, and some include full historical archives for comprehensive analysis.

Snapshots

Note: Always verify the authenticity and integrity of snapshots before using them. Keep in mind that third-party providers may have different update schedules, data policies, and retention periods. Refer to the provider’s documentation for instructions on how to use these snapshots and any associated terms of service.

Restore examples

Use the command set that matches the provider archive format.

Peersyst (.tar.lz4)

cd ~/.exrpd
wget -O snapshot.tar.lz4 <snapshot_url>
tar -xI lz4 -f snapshot.tar.lz4

Cumulo (.tar.zst)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y aria2 zstd curl

SERVICE=exrpd.service
STATE=~/.exrpd/data/priv_validator_state.json
BACKUP=/tmp/priv_validator_state.json

sudo systemctl stop $SERVICE

if [ -f "$STATE" ]; then
	cp "$STATE" "$BACKUP"
fi

rm -rf ~/.exrpd/data && mkdir -p ~/.exrpd/data
cd ~/.exrpd
aria2c -x 16 -s 16 -k 1M --file-allocation=none -o snapshot.tar.zst "https://xrpl.cumulo.com.es/snapshots/latest_xrpl_snapshot.tar.zst"
zstd -t snapshot.tar.zst
tar --use-compress-program=zstd -xf snapshot.tar.zst -C ~/.exrpd/data
rm -f snapshot.tar.zst

if [ -f "$BACKUP" ]; then
	mv "$BACKUP" "$STATE"
fi

sudo systemctl start $SERVICE

If integrity check fails (zstd -t or tar extraction errors such as Unexpected EOF), delete the archive and download it again before extracting.
