# Download the Latest Chain Snapshot

When operating a Full Node, the initial startup process involves synchronizing block information from dKargo Chain.

The more recorded block data there is, the longer the synchronization process will take.

To optimize this, **dKargo provides a snapshot of the latest stored state** at a specific point in time.

The latest snapshot can be downloaded from the following address:

## Mainnet Full Node

* S3 Snapshot Link
  * <https://dkargo-snapshot.s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/prune/latest/pruned.tar.gz>

## Warehouse Full Node

* S3 Snapshot Link
  * <https://warehouse-snapshot.s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/prune/latest/pruned.tar.gz>
