⌚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

State sync

# stop the service and clear the database
systemctl stop story
rm -rf $HOME/.story/story/data

# install lz4
apt update
apt install snapd -y
snap install lz4

# download wasm if necessary
This project does not support wasm

# add peer
peers="90161a7f82ce5dbfbed1a2a9d40d4103730cff0f@5.9.87.231:26656"
sed -i.bak -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$peers\"/" $HOME/.story/story/config/config.toml

SNAP_RPC=https://t-story.archive.rpc.utsa.tech:443

LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $SNAP_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height); \
BLOCK_HEIGHT=$((LATEST_HEIGHT - 1000)); \
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|^(seeds[[:space:]]+=[[:space:]]+).*$|\1\"\"|" $HOME/.story/story/config/config.toml

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

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