Curated banano 🍌 files for node operators

Created by renesq

Pre-compiled Bananode v26.1 for Ubuntu 26.04 on a AMD/intel based VPS

Ideally run it as a service, or launch it with:

nohup ./bananodev261 --daemon &

Version info:

    "store_version": "22",
    "protocol_version": "20",
    "node_vendor": "Banano V26.1",
    "store_vendor": "RocksDB 7.8.3",

Default config files for Bananode v26.1

Node will run without these due to its default values, but you could not do much with it unless you activate RPC capabilities in the config. You may also set enable_control to access wallets via RPC. Default values are commented out and can be adjusted by uncommenting.

Pre-built Bananode RocksDB blockchain database with most historic timestamps preserved

Install these if you're either in a hurry on a reinstall and can't wait for the blockchain to fully synchronize, or when you need accurate block timestamps, or when you don't have enough disk space for upgrading the database.
Upload created on 2026-06-12 @ block count 67.218.255.
Contains block timestamps since ~2019-03-18 (timestamp 1552942869), will show 0 for unknown dates.
Download contains the "rocksdb" parent folder as tar.zst, 16GB download, 20GB unpacked.

copy&paste installation code

If you use the following code, linux will directly unpack all files while it's still downloading the archive, without clogging disk space:

wget -O- https://precompiled.banano.cc/banano_v26_ledger_rocksdb_2026-06-12.tar.zst | tar -I zstd -xf - -C /root/BananoData/

Before installing, stop the node daemon if you already run a node ( e.g. curl -g -d '{ "action": "stop" }' '[::1]:7072' ) and delete the BananoData/rocksdb folder.
Simply place the new rocksdb in the BananoData folder and then run a node version of at least v26. Database upgrade will be automatically done on newer bananode versions.

Be sure to enable RocksDB engine in the configuration file (config-node.toml: [node.rocksdb] enable = true).
Comes with almost all block timestamps and they were checked for accuracy (returns 0 if no plausible timestamp was recorded). Some timestamps may be a litte of whenever the network had issues, so don't take it for face value.
Wallet data is separate from the block data, wallets are stored in wallets.ldb regardless of the DB engine type you configured, so they will not be touched by the pre-built ledger database at all.
All database files were vacuumed already.
If you don't trust this website, you can run some CLI commands to make the node re-validate every single block ("--validate_blocks" or "--confirmation_height_clear").

Bananode V22 LMDB

LMDB is the default database engine. Currently there's no pre-built ledger files provided by this website owner.

Manually download a list of block timestamps as csv

If you need a list of timestamps for your block explorer project, you can use this one. Nodes might also allow to import timestamps into the existing database but it is a slow process and needs to be fed in chunks.
