You can download a snapshot to speed up the synchronization process, but you will
give up the trustless nature of the blockchain, as a malicious initial block producer
could have been forging this. TO BE CONFIRMED!! @Heinrich

```bash
cd run/mainnet/docker
./snapshot.sh
```

The snapshot.sh will try to use `NODE_DB` as the directory to store the snapshot.

If you did it or not you can start the wallet with

```bash
cd run/mainnet/docker
# necessary to patch the wallet arguments
export DOCKER_COMPOSE_FILE=docker-compose.yml:mainnet-compose.yml
./run.sh start
```
