# Sync wallet with a Bootstrap

## What is a bootstrap?

A bootstrap is a backup of the **SATOXCOIN** blockchain.

Visit <https://github.com/satoverse/satoxcoin/releases/> and download the latest bootstrap.

There is 2 versions of the bootstrap:

For standard user, download the version **"without-txindex".**

For users thats want to run an explorer or other services, download the version **"txindex".**

Use [WinRAR](https://www.rarlab.com/download.htm) to extract the compressed files.

*The bootstrap contains 2 folders:*&#x20;

* ***blocks***
* ***chainstate***

## Extract the files to your Satoxcoin folder:

Location of file in **Windows**: **%AppData%\satoxcoin\\**

Location of file in **Linux**: **\~/.satoxcoin/**

You need to overwrite the old folders with the new, when that is done.

Restart the Satoxcoin Core Wallet and you have just saved yourself from syncing 1+ year of blocks.
