Tip: If our node is shown as offline, you may use alternative snapshot providers.

Soft Reset (Forkpoint Update Only)

Use this when your node is close to the network tip and only needs a forkpoint update:

1. Stop services:

systemctl stop monad-bft monad-execution monad-rpc

2. Update forkpoint and validators:

# Update forkpoint

curl -sSL https://snapshot-mainnet.huginn.tech/monad/mainnet/scripts/forkpoint.sh | bash

# Update validators.toml

curl -o /home/monad/monad-bft/config/validators/validators.toml https://snapshot-mainnet.huginn.tech/monad/mainnet/snapshots/validators.toml

3. Start services:

systemctl start monad-bft monad-execution monad-rpc

4. Verify:

journalctl -u monad-bft -f

After restarting, check your sync progress: View Sync Progress Commands

Hard Reset (Full Restore)

Use this when your node is far behind or has data corruption:

1. Clean workspace:

Warning: This script will delete the entire database. Make sure you have backups if needed.

bash /opt/monad/scripts/reset-workspace.sh

2. Download latest snapshot:

curl -sSL https://snapshot-mainnet.huginn.tech/monad/mainnet/scripts/snapshot.sh | bash

3. Update forkpoint and validators.toml:

# Update forkpoint

curl -sSL https://snapshot-mainnet.huginn.tech/monad/mainnet/scripts/forkpoint.sh | bash

# Update validators.toml

curl -o /home/monad/monad-bft/config/validators/validators.toml https://snapshot-mainnet.huginn.tech/monad/mainnet/snapshots/validators.toml

4. Start services:

systemctl start monad-mpt

systemctl start monad-bft monad-execution monad-rpc

5. Verify:

systemctl list-units --type=service monad-bft.service monad-execution.service monad-rpc.service
