PHICOIN Full Node Data

Pre-synced blockchain data for PHICOIN Core. Download and extract instead of syncing from the network, which takes many hours.

Snapshot height: 2697135 Snapshot date: 2026-10-18 Best block hash: 00000000ee45f88893eb8d6e48c6b4151a4380b4b3e1a0a9ef882611089db7e2 Built from a stopped node, so the databases are consistent.

Which file do I need

There are two packages. They are not interchangeable. Pick based on whether you run a plain wallet or a service that queries the chain by address or txid.

PHICOIN_noindex_20261018.7z (1.1 GB download, 2.1 GB on disk)

For normal wallet users. This matches the default settings of PHICOIN Core, so you do not need to add anything to phicoin.conf. Choose this one if you are unsure.

SHA256: d9249c8f7654d00b7be75930cecb4bb5a5ca6613404b9fef3088d7b68932f382

PHICOIN_fullindex_20261018.7z (1.8 GB download, 3.5 GB on disk)

For mining pools, block explorers, exchanges, and anything that calls getrawtransaction, address balance lookups, or timestamp queries. Requires the index options below in your config.

SHA256: 0d95625c8eb22e95a7daeb3652a9907e93b31f80c25599c82b2ec4b20911aaf7

Data directory location

• Windows: %APPDATA%\PHICOIN
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/PHICOIN
• Linux: ~/.phicoin

Install

1. Close your wallet completely. Confirm phicoind and phicoin-qt are not running, otherwise the files will be locked or overwritten on exit.

2. Back up wallet.dat from your data directory. It is not part of these packages and will not be touched, but back it up anyway.

3. Delete the old chain data from your data directory:

   blocks/
   chainstate/
   assets/
   messages/
   myrestricted/
   rewards/
   

   Leave wallet.dat and phicoin.conf in place.

4. Extract the package into the data directory. When finished you should see blocks/ and chainstate/ directly inside the data directory, not nested inside another folder.

5. If you downloaded the full index package, add these lines to phicoin.conf:

   txindex=1
   addressindex=1
   assetindex=1
   timestampindex=1
   spentindex=1
   

   For the no index package, add nothing.

6. Start the wallet. The first start takes a few minutes while blocks are verified. Then it syncs the remaining blocks from the network.

Verify the download

sha256sum PHICOIN_noindex_20261018.7z

Compare against the hash listed above. A mismatch means the download is incomplete, so download again rather than extracting it.

Troubleshooting

"You need to rebuild the database using -reindex"

Your config does not match the package. The index settings are stored inside the database, so they must agree with phicoin.conf. Either switch to the package that matches your config, or change the config to match the package as described in step 5. Running -reindex works but rescans the whole chain and takes hours, which defeats the purpose of a snapshot.

Wallet still shows old balance or missing transactions

Start once with -rescan so the wallet re-reads the chain.

"Corrupted block database"

The download or extraction was incomplete. Verify the SHA256, then extract again.

What is included

Only the data needed to run a node:

• blocks/ block files and block index
• chainstate/ UTXO set
• assets/ asset database
• messages/, myrestricted/, rewards/ asset subsystem databases

No wallet.dat, no phicoin.conf, no peers.dat, no log files. Your wallet and settings stay yours.
