Full sync Full sync downloads all blocks (including headers, transactions, and receipts) and generates the state of the blockchain incrementally by executing every block from genesis. Minimizes trust and offers the highest security by verifying every transaction. With an increasing number of transactions, it can take days to weeks to process all transactions.
Fast sync, synchronization takes only a few hours.
Light sync
