Due to some performance issues identified in the new binary, we have decided to postpone the release for the time being. We will provide an update on the forum once we are ready to move forward-

What is decentralized state sync? It's a mechanism where nodes sync state by gathering parts from network peers, instead of using centralized cloud storage, for faster syncing and better decentralization. Learn more in our latest release: github.com/near/nearcore/…

What is epoch sync? Epoch sync allows nodes to synchronize from genesis faster and more reliably without relying on snapshots. In a recent TestNet test, it took about 7 hours for a node to catch up to the chain's tip. Learn more in our latest release: github.com/near/nearcore/…
