⌚State sync

State sync allows a new node to join a network by fetching a snapshot of the network state at a recent height, instead of fetching and replaying all historical blocks

Some blockchains do not yet know how to transfer wasm along with State sync. Download wasm if necessary

Important - different blockchains need a different amount of RAM to successfully start with State sync. Average 4 GB RAM

# stop the service and clear the database
systemctl stop wardend

cp $HOME/.warden/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.warden/priv_validator_state.json.backup

rm -rf $HOME/.warden/data 
rm -rf $HOME/.warden/wasm

mkdir -p $HOME/.warden/data
mv $HOME/.warden/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.warden/data/priv_validator_state.json

# add peer
peers=""
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.warden/config/config.toml

LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000)); \
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$SNAP_RPC/block?height=$BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH

sed -i.bak -E "s|^(enable[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1true| ; \
s|^(rpc_servers[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$SNAP_RPC,$SNAP_RPC\"| ; \
s|^(trust_height[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1$BLOCK_HEIGHT| ; \
s|^(trust_hash[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"$TRUST_HASH\"|" $HOME/.warden/config/config.toml

after echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $BLOCK_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH you should see something like this

# restart node
systemctl restart wardend && journalctl -u wardend -f -o cat
