op-reth Base Mainnet sync very slowly

[0xStrawberlin]

I try to run a full base mainnet node with op-reth and op-node. But it syncs very slowly. It took about 15 hours to run and only reached 400,000 blocks. Can anyone provide the full node snapshot ? or Can I sync from latest block instead of genius block (Block 0). Thank!

Here are my executed scripts:

./bin/op-node \
    --network="base-mainnet" \
    --l1=wss://eth.merkle.io \
    --l2=http://localhost:9551 \
    --l2.jwt-secret=/Volumes/Tiplus/reth_data/base_reth_jwt/jwt.hex \
    --rpc.addr=0.0.0.0 \
    --rpc.port=7000 \
    --l1.beacon=https://ethereum-beacon-api.publicnode.com
    --l1.trustrpc
    --syncmode=execution-layer
    --l2.enginekind=reth
    --override.holocene 2736445601

    --full \
    --chain base \

Hi @0xStrawberlin
the snapshots are available here

i am using a geth node, and i have added the full node snapshot but after that, i was about 20k blocks behind so i waited couple of hours. but i realised it is still syncing very slow.

Average sync speed: 1.7750 blocks per second

what can i do to debug the speed?

i am on ubuntu 24.04, 16 core xeon 6th gen CPU with 64 GB ram and 2TB nvme disk
the download speed during snapshot was on average 40MB/s so i do not think my network connection is a problem

i am using chainstack as my L1 becon node which have a throughput of 25 api calls per sec
i am trying to sync sepolia testnet

Thanks

We have exact same issue. we followed the tutorial, the syncing is super slow, but geth dir size increase, extremely slowly. We also have 64Go and 8TB nvme disk.

1 line = 5 sec, our block sync is so slow that we go backwards, there is no way to get in sync.

1 line = 1 sec, our disk size still increase, veryyyyy slowly

Ours logs look like this

Could you tell us what to do?
