### ⚠🚨 WARNING🚨⚠

> The paritydb versions of the database MAY be corrupted. I started noticing some symptoms recently while querying the chain data and it's missing bits and pieces of the information. For now, please use only RocksDB versions until this can be verified.

---

To import a database snapshot, download one of the files and unzip with [7zip](https://www.7-zip.org) (e.g. `7z x archive.7z -o~/.local/share/polkadot/chains/ksmcc3`) into:

- `~/.local/share/polkadot/chains/ksmcc3/` if using Kusama 
- `~/.local/share/polkadot/chains/polkadot/` if using Polkadot 

The subfolder `db` for RocksDB or `paritydb` for ParityDB will be automatically created.

More info on the full process [here](https://dotleap.com/how-to-import-a-pre-synced-kusama-database/).

> Direct download links are also available in the table below, but will be deleted with every new edition and rely on my own server, so might disappear at any time.
