goal node catchup¶

Catchup the Algorand node to a specific catchpoint

Synopsis¶

Catchup allows making large jumps over round ranges without the need to incrementally validate each individual round. Using external catchpoints is not a secure practice and should not be done for consensus participating nodes.

If no catchpoint is provided, this command attempts to lookup the latest catchpoint from algorand-catchpoints.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com.
