<commit_before>### Bootstrap the Blockchain Synchronization

Normally the Dogecoin Core client will download the transaction and network information, called the blockchain, from network by syncing with the other clients. This can be a process that can take multiple days as the Dogecoin block chain has grown to more than 3 gigabytes, and is growing almost half a gigabyte every month. Luckily there is a safe and fast way to speed up this process. We’ll show you how to bootstrap your blockchain to bring your client up to speed in just a few simple steps.

You only need to do this when first syncing Dogecoin Core; after that, updates are relatively small and shouldn't take too long.

### Requirements

- A fresh install of the Dogecoin Core client software.

### Download the block chain
Be sure to only use the official repositories listed below.
