Verify your download

Every snapshot ships with a SHA256 checksum sidecar file. This one-liner downloads the latest archive, its checksum, and verifies them together — built for scripting a node bootstrap, not clicking through a browser.

SHA256 checksum

Each snapshot run computes a SHA256 hash of the finished .tar.zst archive and writes it to a sidecar file with the same name plus .sha256 (e.g. robinhood-snapshot-latest.tar.zst.sha256).

  • The checksum covers the compressed archive exactly as downloaded — not its extracted contents
  • A mismatch means the file was corrupted or altered in transit; re-download and check again
  • The current checksum is also shown in full on the homepage's Snapshot Details

Compression format

Archives are compressed with Zstandard (.tar.zst), which shrinks the ~68GB live data directory to roughly 38–40GB.

  • Extract with tar -I zstd -xf <file> (requires zstd installed) or unzstd | tar -x
  • Compression level is tuned for a balance of speed and ratio, since the archive node keeps writing during capture
