🗂️ Snapshot Service
JagPool offers a free snapshot service to facilitate and accelerate validator synchronization across all regions where we operate: Latin America (LATAM), Singapore, and South Africa.
🌍 Regional Partners
We collaborate with trusted partners in each supported region to provide up-to-date, high-quality snapshots.
These partners ensure that new validators, or those recovering from downtime, can sync quickly, safely, and locally.
By hosting regional snapshots, JagPool helps reduce sync times, improve decentralization, and strengthen network resilience.
🚀 Benefits of the Snapshot Service
- Faster sync times for new and recovering validators
- Reduced bandwidth usage and lower infrastructure strain
- Higher resilience through multiple geographic availability zones
- Support for decentralization, by encouraging regional validator growth
🔗 How to Access
To securely use our snapshots, we recommend specifying trusted snapshot providers using the --known-validator argument when starting your validator.
This ensures your node only downloads genesis and snapshot data from reputable operators, minimizing risk of corrupted or malicious data.
For best performance, choose the snapshot server closest to your validator’s location.
📚 For reference, see the official Anza documentation:
