Announcing Blockchain Snapshots on AWS for node bootstrapping

For blockchain node operators running Ethereum or Solana, AWS is announcing Blockchain Snapshots on AWS, an initiative that publishes pre-synced public blockchain node chain data in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) so you can bootstrap a node from a snapshot instead of peer-to-peer syncing from the network. These snapshots are hosted on Amazon S3 within AWS infrastructure, enabling customers running nodes on AWS benefit from reduced latency and optimized data transfer. Blockchain Snapshots on AWS republishes each network’s authoritative snapshot in a format optimized for parallel extr
