New validator

Important Notice for New Validators

New validators should be aware that synchronizing the blockchain from scratch (genesis) will take an extremely long time. To expedite the setup process, we strongly recommend using one of the following methods:

Note: To use snapshots, state sync, you must install the latest version of the binary. For information about updating from previous versions, refer to the Migration to v0.3.0 guide.

Option 1: Use a Lite Snapshot

Lite snapshots contain the minimal state required to join the network and are the fastest way to get your validator up and running.

Option 2: Use a Full Snapshot

Full snapshots contain the complete blockchain state and are recommended for validators who need the entire historical data.

Option 3: State Sync

State sync allows your node to quickly synchronize to the current state of the network without downloading the entire blockchain history.

Binary Requirements

Important: Using snapshots requires the latest binary version (v0.3.0 or newer). Older binaries are incompatible with current snapshot formats and will fail to synchronize properly.
