Why Lava providers and operators use snapshots

Lava Network snapshots provide a fast way to bootstrap provider nodes, RPC endpoints, and infrastructure without waiting for full chain synchronization. Whether you're running a provider on Lava mainnet or testing on testnet, our curated snapshots include complete node states for rapid deployment.

Each snapshot is compressed with LZ4 for efficient transfer and includes integrity metadata. Providers can restore nodes in minutes instead of days, reducing downtime after maintenance or migrations. Data teams use snapshots to warm up infrastructure and analytics pipelines without replaying millions of blocks.

Our snapshot service updates daily and supports both testnet and mainnet. All snapshots are verified and ready for production use with systemd services. For private mirror access or custom snapshot schedules, contact our team.
