# State Sync

{% hint style="info" %}
State Sync allows to sync a new node by fetching a snapshot of the network state at a recent height, instead of fetching and replaying all historical blocks.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Some networks which use `wasm` may not yet support `wasm` folder transfers with State Sync. In this case you may need to download `wasm` folder separately.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Depending on network, State Sync may need different amount of RAM to successfully fish sync process. It is recommended to have at least 8GB RAM.

1. **Stop existing service and reset database.**

```
sudo systemctl stop desmosd
desmos tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.desmos --keep-addr-book
```

2. **Add peers.**

```
PEERS="bdd98ec74fe56146f08e886239e52373f6821ce3@95.216.148.253:26656,7ea74a6fd693c8a04fb11d3e31f231c2c949db5c@157.90.230.83:26656,86451fccaa2745dba3c5e88f289cb8a7fccda107@139.162.131.107:26656,af4e9b5cc3509893877e82bf1de1d6316fe0bb1c@152.228.216.224:26656,c880aded1fd96647e85bd301c18dafb6ae7dd3a8@5.9.121.55:41856"
sed -i -e "s/^persistent_peers *=.*/persistent_peers = \"$PEERS\"/" $HOME/.desmos/config/config.toml
```

3. **Fill variables with data for State Sync.**

```
RPC="https://desmos-rpc.stakeangle.com:443"
RECENT_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height)
TRUST_HEIGHT=$((RECENT_HEIGHT - 2000))
TRUST_HASH=$(curl -s "$RPC/block?height=$TRUST_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

echo $RECENT_HEIGHT $TRUST_HEIGHT $TRUST_HASH
```

4. **Add variable values to config.toml.**

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

5. **Start service and check journal.**

```
sudo systemctl restart desmosd
sudo journalctl -u desmosd -f -o cat
```

{% hint style="info" %}
State Sync typically takes up to 10 minutes.
