Sync From Our Snapshot

Sync from a snapshot is the easiest/quickest way to sync the injective node.

Follow manual process here.

Or use automation sync script

NOTE: You always have the option to sync your sentry from scratch via public sentries, which is a more decentralized approach.

Sync From Scratch

Because of breaking changes we made with release 10001 rc7, the node should be synced with injectived version 10001 rc6, until halt height block 2045750. Then the injectived binary should be updated to version 10001 rc7 to the latest block.

Here is a simple 6-step guide on how to sync from scratch.

Step 1

Backup your configuration

mkdir $HOME/injectived-backup/
cp -rf $HOME/.injectived/config $HOME/.injectived/keyring-file $HOME/injectived-backup/

Step 2

Get the previous release version 10001 rc6

# Make sure that no running injectived processes
killall injectived &>/dev/null || true

# Remove current binary that you use 
rm -rf /usr/bin/injectived 

wget https://github.com/InjectiveLabs/injective-chain-releases/releases/download/v1.0.1-1629427973/linux-amd64.zip

unzip linux-amd64.zip

mv -f injectived /usr/bin

#check version
injectived version 

# Should output
#Version dev (48356b9)

Step 3

Init chain

# The argument <moniker> is the custom username of your node. It should be human-readable.
export MONIKER=<moniker>

# the Injective Chain has a chain-id of "injective-1"
injectived init $MONIKER --chain-id injective-1

Step 4

Sync to halt height block

injectived start --halt-height 2045750

The node will automatically exit upon reaching block height reachs 2045750.

NOTE: The sync process takes approximately two days until it reaches halt height. If you want to run sync as a background process, follow the official guide using systemd service. Make sure you update ExecStart commannd bypassing --halt-height 2045750 param. Otherwise, you will overshoot the halt height and will have to resync from scratch again.

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/injectived --halt-height 2045750 --log-level=error start'

Step 5

From this step, given that you've now reached the halt height, you can now switch binary to the latest version.

# Make sure that no running injectived processes
killall injectived &>/dev/null || true

# If you use systemd service, stop it, otherwise skip this step
sudo systemctl stop injectived && sudo systemctl disable injectived

# Remove old binary, you don't need it anymore
rm -rf /usr/bin/injectived 

# Get the latest one
wget https://github.com/InjectiveLabs/injective-chain-releases/releases/download/v1.0.1-1630308393/linux-amd64.zip

unzip linux-amd64.zip

sudo mv injectived peggo injective-exchange /usr/bin
#check version
injectived version 
 
# Should output
#Version dev (b174465)

Step 6

Continue syncing to the latest block.

injectived start

NOTE: If you want to continue sync as a background process, follow the official guide using systemd service. Make sure you update back ExecStart commannd by removing --halt-height 2045750 param.

ExecStart=/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/injectived --log-level=error start'

Start systemd service

sudo systemctl start injectived && sudo systemctl enable injectived

Wait until the sync finishes, and the block height should reach the latest chain block. Follow via API

curl localhost:26657/status | grep height

When it reaches network block height, your node is fully synced, and you are running the latest version of the injective chain.
