### Skip syncing the history of deposits
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The recently standardized Beacon API endpoint `/eth/v1/beacon/deposit_snapshot` allows a client to skip downloading the entire history of deposit by downloading a small snapshot of the state of the validator deposit contract. To take advantage of this functionality, make sure you are syncing against a beacon node which supports it (e.g. Nimbus 22.12.0 or later) and specify the the command line option `--with-deposit-snapshot` when executed the `trustedNodeSync` command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
!!! tip
|
||||||
|
It's safe to always specify this option. Nimbus will produce a warning if the specified beacon node doesn't support the required endpoint. Future versions of Nimbus will enable the option by default.
