Node snapshots
This page contains download links for data directories and node snapshots that can be used to more easily run your own node. Data directories and node snapshots are not required but can significantly simplify the node operation process.Data directories and node snapshots are not required in the following cases:
- When using snap sync with op-geth
- When using
Nethermind(automatically handles snapshots)
op-geth.About snapshots and execution clients
op-geth
OP Mainnet underwent a large database migration as part of the Bedrock Upgrade in 2023. Node operators usingop-geth must have a migrated OP Mainnet database to run a node.
Migrated OP Mainnet databases can be generated manually or pre-migrated databases can be downloaded from the links below.
Nethermind
Nethermind automatically handles downloading and applying the necessary snapshots when you start the node. No manual snapshot download is required. The node will:- Start with an empty database
- Automatically download the required ancient data
- Apply the data and continue syncing
Nethermind with the -c op-mainnet flag, it uses this configuration automatically.
Available Snapshots
Nethermind
Nethermind provides an official snapshot through their snapshot service:| Network | Size | Download Link | Checksum |
|---|---|---|---|
| OP Mainnet | ~2GB | Download | 0xd7e15b26175c4c924acf75c5790e75d5eaa044977ca8e1904dc62d5d0769eba3 |
When using Nethermind, you don’t need to manually download these snapshots. They are automatically downloaded when you start the node with
-c op-mainnet.op-geth
The following snapshots are required for op-geth nodes. Unlike Nethermind, op-geth requires manual snapshot management.
Always verify snapshots by comparing the sha256sum of the downloaded file to the sha256sum listed on this page.
Check the sha256sum of the downloaded file by running
sha256sum <filename> in a terminal.Using aria2 to download snapshots can significantly speed up the download process.
