Data snapshots for NEAR and Aurora
A collection of database snapshots for NEAR and Aurora chains:
- Two types of snapshots can be provided: Compressed (tar.zst archives) and Uncompressed (raw files for use with rclone)
- Snapshots are pruned, full archive snapshots are not available
- Snapshot sizes may differ, which is normal since Nearcore (and its derivatives) runs garbage collection on its state
- Snapshots are organized by network (mainnet/testnet), service (nearcore/engine/refiner/relayer), and state (full/contract)
Downloading
Note: The
/latest/* endpoints always return a response:
- If a snapshot exists: Returns the URL to the latest snapshot
- If unavailable: Returns
# not available
Compressed snapshots
Download the latest compressed snapshot and use this shell command to unpack directly:
e.g., https://snapshots.aurora.dev/latest/mainnet/nearcore/full/compressed
NETWORK=mainnet SERVICE=nearcore STATE=full; wget -O - https://snapshots.aurora.dev/latest/${NETWORK}/${SERVICE}/${STATE}/compressed | zstd -d | tar -xf - -C /your/data/dir
Uncompressed snapshots
Uncompressed snapshots provide raw files that can be selectively downloaded using rclone. This is useful for resumable downloads, selective file restoration, and bandwidth-efficient updates. Install rclone ≥1.70 from rclone.org if you don't have it, then:
e.g., https://snapshots.aurora.dev/latest/mainnet/nearcore/full/uncompressed
NETWORK=mainnet SERVICE=nearcore STATE=full; L=$(curl -s https://snapshots.aurora.dev/latest/${NETWORK}/${SERVICE}/${STATE}/uncompressed); curl -s $L/index > /tmp/idx && rclone copy --buffer-size 128M --transfers 128 --tpslimit 4096 --retries 20 --retries-sleep 1s --low-level-retries 10 --multi-thread-streams 1 --no-traverse --http-url $L/data --files-from /tmp/idx --checkers 128 --max-backlog 1000000 --progress --stats-one-line :http: /your/data/dir
