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://download.bsc-snapshot.workers.dev/{filename} -o geth.tar.lz4

• Uncompress: tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4. It will take more than two hours to uncompress. You can put it in the backgroud 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

erigon-20220806.tar.lz4

Step 1: Preparation

• Make sure your hardware meets the suggested requirement.
• A fullnode running BSC requires at least 2TB of space

Step 2: Download && Uncompress

sudo yum install aria2c
aria2c -s14 -x14 -k100M https://download.bsc-snapshot.workers.dev/{filename} -o erigon.tar.lz4
tar -I lz4 -xvf geth.tar.lz4

Step 3: Replace Data And Restart erigon

• Stop the running erigon client by kill {pid}
• Backing up the original data: mv ${erigon_datadir}/erigon ${erigon_datadir}/erigon_back
• Replace the data: mv ${erigon_snapshot_dir}/erigon ${erigon_datadir}
• Start the erigon client again and check logs
