Chain-state snapshots for bootstrapping Zakura and zcashd compat nodes from a recent block height instead of syncing from genesis.
All the state the node needs to operate, without the historic blocks. One-way: a pruned state can't return to archive mode.
Block 3,517,063

The full chain state, including every historic block.

Start a new node or replace an existing node's state with a recent snapshot instead of syncing from genesis. The commands use aria2 for parallel, checksum-verified downloads and need zstd. Use the curl fallback if aria2 isn't installed.
