+# Decommissioning Public Geth Archive Snapshots
+
+As part of our ongoing efforts to optimize our services, we will be deprecating the Public Geth Archive Snapshots on _December 15th, 2024_. We understand that this change may affect your operations if you rely on these snapshots for maintaining your Ethereum infrastructure. This notice aims to provide you with a potential path forward and offer solutions to ensure a smooth transition.
+
+## Recommended Path Forward
+
+We recommend switching to Reth going forward. We will continue to maintain the Reth archive snapshot.
+
+If you need continued Geth support, we would advise that you maintain your own snapshot that is specific to your infrastructure e.g. EBS on AWS.
+
+To sync a Geth Archive node to tip:
+
+- Download the latest Geth Archive snapshot ~30 days old
+- Use a beacon endpoint with historical blob data
+  - Alternatively you can run your own [blob archiver](https://github.com/base-org/blob-archiver) if you don't want to rely on a third party
+
+If you have any questions or would like assistance, please reach out to us on [Discord](https://base.org/discord) or [GitHub](https://github.com/base-org/base-node).

 In the home directory of your Base Node, create a folder named `geth-data` or `reth-data`. If you already have this folder, remove it to clear the existing state and then recreate it. Next, run the following code and wait for the operation to complete.
