Ancient Data Prune is a new feature in bsc v1.1.8

Here are snapshots of HBSS with leveldb and PBSS snapshots with pebble.

Path-Base-State-Scheme(recommand)

• mainnet: geth-pbss-pebble-20240115.tar.lz4

  md5: 93da5bfaf450e9682d5919c98d1d3343

• testnet: testnet-geth-pbss-20240115.tar.lz4

  md5: fd8eb63e4fd133150e4a16f1325724c7

Hash-Base-State-Scheme(not recommand)

Warning: will stop maintain hash base snapshot after Mid Mar 2024

• mainnet:geth-20240111.tar.lz4

  md5: 0ff55f3837b7e660ea3b36e02b58380a

• testnet: testnet-geth-20230911.tar.lz4

  need to remove "<datadir>/geth/nodekey", after uncompress testnet-geth-20230911.tar.lz4

Special thanks to BNB48Club on contributing another dump of snapshot, you can also refer here to download.

Step 1: Preparation

• Make sure your hardware meets the suggested requirement.
• A disk with enough free storage, at least twice the size of the snapshot.

Step 2: Download && Uncompress

• Copy the above snapshot URL.
• Download: wget -O geth.tar.lz4 "<paste snapshot URL here>" . It will take one or two hours to download the snapshot, you can put it in the backgroud by nohup wget -O geth.tar.gz "<paste snapshot URL here>" &

If you need to speedup download, just use aria2c

aria2c -o geth.tar.lz4 -s14 -x14 -k100M https://pub-c0627345c16f47ab858c9469133073a8.r2.dev/{filename}

But aria2c may fail sometimes, you need to rerun the download command. To make it convient, you can use the following script, save it into file download.sh and run: nohup ./download.sh "<paste snapshot URL here>" <your dir> &

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then 
        dir=$(pwd)
elif [ $# -eq 2 ]; then 
        dir=$2
else 
        echo "Usage: $0 <uri> [filepath] "
        exit 1
fi
uri=$1
filename=$(basename "$uri")
status=-1
while (( status != 0 ))
do 
        PIDS=$(pgrep aria2c)
        if [ -z "$PIDS" ]; then
                aria2c -d $dir -o $filename -s14 -x14 -k100M $uri
        fi
        status=$?
        pid=$(pidof aria2c)
        wait $pid 
        echo aria2c exit.
        case $status in 
                3)
                        echo file not exist.
                        exit 3
                        ;;
                9)
                        echo No space left on device.
                        exit 9
                        ;;
                *)
                        continue
                        ;;
        esac
done
echo download succeed.
exit 0

• Uncompress: tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4. It will take more than two hours to uncompress. You can put it in the background by nohup tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4 &
• You can combine the above steps by running a script:

wget -O geth.tar.lz4  "<paste snapshot URL here>"
tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4

• If you do not need to store the archive for use with other nodes, you may also extract it while downloading to save time and disk space:

wget -q -O - <snapshot URL> | tar -I lz4 -xvf -

Step 3: Replace Data

• First, stop the running bsc client if you have one by kill {pid}, and make sure the client has shut down.
• Consider backing up the original data: mv ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata_backup; mv ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/triecache ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/triecache_backup
• Replace the data: mv server/data-seed/geth/chaindata ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/chaindata; mv server/data-seed/geth/triecache ${BSC_DataDir}/geth/triecache
• Start the bsc client again and check the logs

For more granular upload & download to avoid big files error, split the files into several chunks, so please download them together and concatenate finally.

erigon version v1.1.10, Block: 35851654

erigon version v1.1.13

Step 1: Preparation

• Make sure your hardware meets the suggested requirement.
• BSC Archive: 8TB. BSC Full: 2TB.

Step 2: Download && Concatenate && Uncompress

sudo yum install aria2c
aria2c -s14 -x14 -k100M https://pub-60a193f9bd504900a520f4f260497d1c.r2.dev/erigon_data_20231225.lz4.[0]..erigon_data_20231225.lz4.[7]
cat "erigon_data_20231225.lz4."* > combined_compressed_file.lz4
lz4 -d combined_compressed_file.lz4 mdbx.dat
# or
cat "erigon_data_20231225.lz4."* | lz4 -d -c > mdbx.dat

Step 3: Replace Data And Restart erigon

• Stop the running erigon client by kill {pid}

• Backing up the original data: mv ${erigon_datadir}/chaindata/mdbx.dat ${erigon_datadir}/chaindata/mdbx.dat

• Replace the data: mv ${erigon_snapshot_dir}/erigon/chaindata/mdbx.dat ${erigon_datadir}/chaindata/mdbx.dat

• Replace the torrent: mv ${erigon_torrent_dir}/snapshots ${erigon_datadir}/

• Start the erigon client again and check logs
