{% hint style="info" %}
State Sync allows a new node to join the network by fetching a snapshot of the application state at a recent height instead of fetching and replaying all historical blocks. Since the application state is generally much smaller than the blocks, and restoring it is much faster than replaying blocks, this can reduce the time to sync with the network from days to minutes.

## Instructions

### Stop the service and reset the data

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
sudo systemctl stop quicksilverd
cp $HOME/.quicksilverd/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.quicksilverd/priv_validator_state.json.backup
quicksilverd tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.quicksilverd
```

{% endcode %}

### Get and configure the state sync information

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
STATE_SYNC_RPC=https://rpc-quicksilver.takeshi.team:443
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $STATE_SYNC_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height)
SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT=$(($LATEST_HEIGHT - 2000))
SYNC_BLOCK_HASH=$(curl -s "$STATE_SYNC_RPC/block?height=$SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

sed -i \
  -e "s|^enable *=.*|enable = true|" \
  -e "s|^rpc_servers *=.*|rpc_servers = \"$STATE_SYNC_RPC,$STATE_SYNC_RPC\"|" \
  -e "s|^trust_height *=.*|trust_height = $SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT|" \
  -e "s|^trust_hash *=.*|trust_hash = \"$SYNC_BLOCK_HASH\"|" \
  -e "s|^persistent_peers *=.*|persistent_peers = \"$STATE_SYNC_PEER\"|" \
  $HOME/.quicksilverd/config/config.toml

mv $HOME/.quicksilverd/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.quicksilverd/data/priv_validator_state.json
```

{% endcode %}

### Restart the service and check the log

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
sudo systemctl start quicksilverd && sudo journalctl -u quicksilverd -f --no-hostname -o cat
```

{% endcode %}
