# Using statesync

statesync allows nodes to quickly sync up to the latest block on the network, without needing to sync all blocks from genesis. This can be useful for non-public nodes that require fast syncing and do not require a full block history (for example, if you want to run a validator, or your own private RPC node to send transactions to), but is not recommended for public nodes (for example sentries, public RPCs etc.), as it ultimately reduces the number of nodes on the network that retain a full block history.

Setting this up requires a few more steps

# Configuring statesync

# 1. Enable statesync

Edit the [statesync] section in .und_mainchain/config.toml using the following values:

    # 2. Start your node

    und start --home=/path/to/.und_mainchain

    you should start seeing the following:

    After a few seconds (or at most, minutes), you should see your node start downloading the blocks:
