snapshot aggregator

Cipherscan hosts the primary community Crosslink bootstrap. This page does not mirror the archive. It verifies the live snapshot surface, shows how far our node is from the announced tip, and keeps the seed-preservation restore flow inline.

unknown

our node trails cipherscan by 426 blocks, so london cannot currently verify canonicality from its own tip.

freshness computed here from generated_at: 1d ago (generated 2026-04-17 14:55:53 UTC). server cache: 60s.

Delta is cipherscan_tip - our_tip. Positive means london is behind and cannot honestly verify canonicality from its own tip yet.

restore walkthrough

Phillip’s seed-preservation flow, rendered server-side and kept copy-friendly without client JavaScript. Download stays on Cipherscan; verification stays here.

1. Back Up Your Seed

Preserve your local secret.seed before touching the cache. The snapshot never contains it.

linux
macos
2. Stop The Node

Quit the GUI or stop zebrad cleanly before replacing the cache contents.

linux
macos
3. Download And Verify

Pull the archive directly from Cipherscan, then verify the checksum before extracting anything.

linux
macos
4. Wipe The Old Cache

Remove the broken cache directory, but leave your seed backup alone.

linux
macos
5. Extract The Snapshot

Unpack the archive into Zebra’s cache root so the snapshot directory lands in place.

linux
macos
6. Reinsert The Seed

Put your preserved secret.seed back into the restored cache directory.

linux
macos
7. Restart And Verify

Bring the node back up, wait for peers, then verify the restored height and hash against /sync-check.

linux
macos

verify after restore

After restart, paste the snapshot height and hash into /sync-check to confirm your node landed on the same chain we saw when this page rendered.
