What to know

  • block_number is a verifiable lower boundThe CSI snapshot takes a few minutes; reth keeps producing during the window. The snapshot is guaranteed to contain the advertised block at the advertised hash, but likely contains a few hundred more. Your local reth on restore will see the actual on-disk head.
  • .commit is the finalization markerIt’s written last, after all sidecars. If you don’t see a .commit file in a block prefix, the snapshot is incomplete — skip it.
  • Retention: newest fourOlder snapshots are garbage-collected after each successful run. Pin to a specific block in your CI if you need reproducibility.
  • client_version may say “unknown”Production reth often runs with --http.api omitting web3. The snapshot itself is unaffected; the field is informational.
  • Public hostname is rate-limited (for now)The pub-*.r2.dev domain has Cloudflare R2’s shared rate limit. Migration to https://snapshots.taiko.xyz/ is pending the DNS move; URLs in index.json will rewrite automatically.
