# Pharos Network Snapshots

Welcome to the official snapshot page for Pharos Network. Here you can find regularly updated data snapshots for each network environment — Atlantic Testnet and Mainnet — to help you quickly synchronize and bootstrap your nodes without performing a full sync from genesis.

Snapshots include the latest database state and can be used for fast setup, disaster recovery, or performance testing.

### 💡 Notes & Best Practices

* Snapshots do not contain full block history, only the latest validated state.
* Archival nodes should still sync from genesis.
* After applying a snapshot, the node will continue syncing from the latest height.
* Always ensure your snapshot corresponds to the correct network and version.

> ⚠️ Always verify the snapshot source and integrity before applying it to your node.\\

See [Rapid Node Initialization](https://docs.pharos.xyz/node-and-validator-guide/rapid-node-initialization) for detailed instructions.
