Mainnet
The snapshot service for Worldchain Mainnet is available here.
Whether you need to bootstrap your full node, you can use our daily snapshot service to speed up the process.
Note: the nodes used for snapshotting are using the archive pruning values of Worldchain and are hosted as Systemd services on machines using Ubuntu 22.04.
How to use
You simply go to our snapshot service, select the "Worldchain Snapshots" section and you can download the latest available snapshot! In order to use it, simply decompress the archive as per the following instructions and start your node.
# download the snapshot
wget https://snapshots.bwarelabs.com/worldchain/mainnet/worldchain20250331.tar.lz4
# if was already on your machine, stop your Worldchain service
sudo systemctl stop <WORLDCHAIN_GETH_SERVICE>
sudo systemctl stop <WORLDCHAIN_OP_NODE_SERVICE>
# OR containers if you are using the recommended docker compose setup
docker compose down
# AND make sure there is no process running that might try to write to the database
# make sure your Worldchain data directory is clean (let us assume <WORLDCHAIN_HOME> is your root Worldchain directory)
rm -rf <WORLDCHAIN_HOME>/geth/chaindata
rm -rf <WORLDCHAIN_HOME>/geth/lightchaindata
# make sure you have lz4 installed
sudo apt-get install lz4
# decompress the archive
lz4 -c -d worldchain20250331.tar.lz4 | tar -x -C <WORLDCHAIN_HOME>/geth/
# start the Worldchain service OR container
You should be in-sync with the network in minutes after starting the node.
Please make sure to also check the Official Documentation and the Github Repository posted above in order to correctly deploy the node of your choice.
