Snapshots

Chain-state snapshots for bootstrapping Zakura and zcashd compat nodes from a recent block height instead of syncing from genesis.

Pruned for most nodes

All the state the node needs to operate, without the historic blocks. One-way: a pruned state can't return to archive mode.

Run a node

Start a new node or replace an existing node's state with a recent snapshot instead of syncing from genesis. The commands need zstd. Use curl to download, or aria2 to improve performance.

Pruned

# 1 · stop the node first, if it is already running

# 2 · run in pruned storage mode
mkdir -p ~/.config
cat > ~/.config/zakura.toml <<'EOF'
[state]
storage_mode = "pruned"
EOF

# 3 · download the latest snapshot — resumable
curl -f -L -C - -o zakura-mainnet-pruned-20260810T211710Z-3443393.tar.zst \
  https://zakura.valargroup.dev/mainnet-pruned/zakura-mainnet-pruned-20260810T211710Z-3443393.tar.zst

# 4 · replace the state cache
mkdir -p ~/.cache/zakura
rm -rf ~/.cache/zakura/state
zstd -dc zakura-mainnet-pruned-20260810T211710Z-3443393.tar.zst | tar -x -C ~/.cache/zakura

# 5 · start — the node resumes from block 3,443,393, not genesis
zakurad start
