# State-Sync

**Step 1: Stop service, reset data.**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
sudo systemctl stop cascadiad
cp $HOME/.cascadiad/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.cascadiad/priv_validator_state.json.backup
cascadiad tendermint unsafe-reset-all --home $HOME/.cascadiad --keep-addr-book
```

{% endcode %}

**Step 2: Get and configure state-sync.**

It would be best to get an active RPC endpoint and its peer. It would also be helpful to know the frequency of the snapshot to adapt the following row with a correct value `SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT=$(($LATEST_HEIGHT - 300))`, otherwise, state-sync will fail.

Below is an example of a working validator's peers:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
STATE_SYNC_RPC=https://cascadia.rpc.liveraven.net:443
STATE_SYNC_PEER=5126c2904cf4d9ed9b2c6cd203fccbe3983229da@cascadia.rpc.liveraven.net:22656
LATEST_HEIGHT=$(curl -s $STATE_SYNC_RPC/block | jq -r .result.block.header.height)
SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT=$(($LATEST_HEIGHT - 300))
SYNC_BLOCK_HASH=$(curl -s "$STATE_SYNC_RPC/block?height=$SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT" | jq -r .result.block_id.hash)

echo $LATEST_HEIGHT $SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT $SYNC_BLOCK_HASH

sed -i \
  -e "s|^enable *=.*|enable = true|" \
  -e "s|^rpc_servers *=.*|rpc_servers = \"$STATE_SYNC_RPC,$STATE_SYNC_RPC\"|" \
  -e "s|^trust_height *=.*|trust_height = $SYNC_BLOCK_HEIGHT|" \
  -e "s|^trust_hash *=.*|trust_hash = \"$SYNC_BLOCK_HASH\"|" \
  -e "s|^persistent_peers *=.*|persistent_peers = \"$STATE_SYNC_PEER\"|" \
  $HOME/.cascadiad/config/config.toml

mkdir -p $HOME/.cascadiad/data && mv $HOME/.cascadiad/priv_validator_state.json.backup $HOME/.cascadiad/data/priv_validator_state.json
```

{% endcode %}

**Step 3: Restart service, check logs.**

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
sudo systemctl start cascadiad && sudo journalctl -u cascadiad -fn 100 -o cat
```

{% endcode %}

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://cascadia.gitbook.io/gitbook/node/state-sync.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
