Shield Crypto's
Snapshot Services

Speed up your Namada node synchronization and indexer setup with our fast, reliable snapshot services.

Setup your Namada infrastructure faster

For Node Operators

Whether you want to setup your own Namada Validator or simply your own RPC node or run your own instance of Namadillo interface, with our snapshots you can skip the long synchronization process and get up and running in hours instead of days.

Push to deploy.

Download our latest snapshot and get your node up and running in hours instead of days. We offer a snapshot to quickly setup a Namada node (either a full validator or a simple node) as well as the required snapshots of backend services required for Namadillo interface.

Trusted Snapshots.

Snapshots are taken from our services. We also publish the checksums of each snapshot for verification purposes. Ensure to always verify the checksums before using any snapshot.

Database backups.

Namada Indexer and MASP Indexer snapshots are taken from our Postgres database backups. These snapshots are taken on regular basis and are available for download.

Blockchain Snapshots

The cometbft and DB snapshots are designed to help you quickly set up a Namada node (either a full validator or a simple node) and get it up and running in hours instead of days. By downloading our latest snapshot, you can skip the long synchronization process and start interacting with the Namada blockchain immediately.

The following script provides step-by-step instructions to restore your Namada node using our snapshots. It includes commands to stop your node, back up your validator state, delete old data, download and verify the new snapshots, and start your node again. Always remember to verify the checksums of the downloaded snapshots before using them to ensure their integrity. If desired, the snapshots can also be downloaded and restored manually by using the provided download buttons.

# Delete downloaded db and data snapshots

Indexer Databases

Database dumps for the namada-indexer and namada-masp-indexer services. Skip weeks of synchronization by restoring from a snapshot.

Namada indexer and MASP indexers, along with a namada RPC node, are the required backend services for Namadaillo Interface. Use these snapshots to quickly set up and run the required backend services.

Like the Namada snapshots, an utility script is available to automate the restoration process, as well as manual download buttons.
