BITCOIN SNAPSHOTS

How to Restore Assume UTXO

1. Start your node:

2. Wait until headers are in sync:

{
  "headers": 935000,
  "blocks": 0,
  ...
}

Wait until blocks starts incrementing before proceeding.

3. Disconnect from the network:

4. Load the UTXO snapshot:

The -rpcclienttimeout=0 flag prevents the RPC client from timing out while the snapshot is being loaded. Once complete, your node will resume syncing from the snapshot height.

5. Reconnect to the network:

6. Check chain states:
