Sync Tests

The sync tests evaluate the performance of syncing the Cardano mainnet from genesis. These tests focus on:

  • Sync time – how long it takes to fully sync a node

  • Sync speed – the rate at which blockchain data is processed in each epoch and each era

  • Node resource usage – including CPU and memory utilization

The source code for these tests is available in the cardano-sync-tests repository.
