# Running mode
- Full - Sync: Gets the block headers, the block bodies, and validates every element from genesis block.
- Fast - Sync: Gets the block headers, the block bodies, it processes no transactions until current block - 64(*). Then it gets a snapshot state and goes like a full synchronization.
- Light - Sync: Gets only the current state. To verify elements, it needs to ask to full (archive) nodes for the corresponding tree leaves. ref: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/11297/what-is-geths-light-sync-and-why-is-it-so-fast?rq=1 (opens new window)
# Running mode - Performance
| Dataset (blocks, states) | Normal sync (time, db) | Fast sync (time, db) |
|---|---|---|
| Frontier, 357677 blocks, 42.4K states | 12:21 mins, 1.6 GB | 2:49 mins, 235.2 MB |
| Olympic, 837869 blocks, 10.2M states | 4:07:55 hours, 21 GB | 31:32 mins, 3.8 GB |
