Syncing a Node Using KYVE's KSYNC
This guide assumes you've completed the "Setting Up Your Node" step.
The following doc covers a step by step guide on how to sync a ZetaChain Mainnet Beta node with KSYNC.
KSYNC is a tool capable of syncing blocks and state-sync snapshots from the decentralized KYVE data lake directly into Cosmos blockchain nodes. With KSYNC Cosmos validators don't need to wait for peers in order to block-sync and they don't need to search for trusted app hashes if they want to state-sync. Furthermore, state-syncing to historical heights up to genesis are possible.
More information about KSYNC can be found here: https://docs.kyve.network/ksync
Install KSYNC
Install the latest KSYNC:
go install github.com/KYVENetwork/ksync/cmd/ksync@latest
Verify the installation:
ksync version
Configure the Node
And change the following config in the config.toml file:
db_backend = "goleveldb"
Changing the db_backend to the default goleveldb is required for now, since KSYNC does not yet support the pebbledb from ZetaChain’s dependency https://github.com/BlockPILabs/cosmos-db.
Sync the Node
ksync state-sync --binary="/path/to/zetacored" --chain-id=kaon-1 --snapshot-pool-id=11
