Download UTXO Snapshot (Coming Soon)

Subcoin offers a dedicated tool for downloading a Bitcoin Core-compatible UTXO snapshot from the Subcoin P2P network directly. This eliminates the need for Bitcoin Core users to rely on trusted snapshot providers for performing a fast sync.

Tool: snapcake​

To download the UTXO snapshot, simply use the following command:

snapcake

Using the Snapshot in Bitcoin Core​

Once the snapshot is successfully downloaded, it can be loaded into your Bitcoin Core node using the loadtxoutset RPC command:

bitcoin-cli loadtxoutset <path-to-snapshot-file>

This process initializes your Bitcoin Core node with a recent UTXO set, allowing you to sync quickly to the network tip without the need to process historical blocks. This can significantly reduce the time required to get a fully functional bitcoind instance.
