Moonbeam is an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform on Polkadot that provides full EVM compatibility. Our Moonbeam snapshots allow you to quickly sync a Moonbeam node without having to download and verify the entire blockchain history from genesis.
These are pruned snapshots containing recent blockchain state. They are updated continuously – our servers always keep the last 2 snapshots available.
