Main Net Database Snapshots
Chain Database Snapshots
One of the biggest challenges for new validators is syncing the node from scratch, especially if the chain has grown large over time. UAX addresses this pain point by offering official database snapshots.
These snapshots are periodically updated and available for download, containing a compressed backup of a FullNode’s database at a fixed block height.
Why Use Snapshots?
• Faster Sync: Skip the wait—get your node synced in hours, not days.
• Verified Data: Officially published by the UAX team and community nodes.
• Convenient Setup: Restore the database with simple CLI or GUI tools.
To get started:
• Visit the Snapshots Page (update link)
• Download the latest snapshot zip/tar file
• Extract and import into your node directory
- Restart the node and allow minimal syncing to the current block
This saves time and ensures you’re starting from a clean and trusted base.
