+# Endpoints — API / RPC / gRPC
+
+> In the Cosmos SDK, the gRPC-gateway translates gRPC endpoints into RESTful ones, enabling users to interact via the REST API. This adaptation is essential for clients that don't natively support gRPC or HTTP2.
+
+> The RPC endpoint enables users to interact with Band's nodes, querying the node's state and transmitting transactions within the Band Protocol.
+
+> The gRPC endpoint enables user interactions with a Band Node through the efficient gRPC framework. In the Cosmos SDK, this protocol is crucial for state queries and transaction broadcasts.

+
+[Babylon](https://babylonchain.io/) –  is a Layer 1 blockchain that provides secure Bitcoin timestamps to its transactions. 
+
+Babylon project designs security protocols that scale Bitcoin to secure the decentralized world. To this end, Babylon utilizes the three primary facets of Bitcoin: Bitcoin the asset, Bitcoin the reliable timestamping server, and Bitcoin the blockchain that contains the most censorship-resistant blockspace in the world.
+
+Babylon consists of two innovative security-sharing protocols between Bitcoin and other PoS blockchains:
+- Bitcoin timestamping: This protocol sends succinct and verifiable timestamps of PoS blockchains to Bitcoin; and
+- Bitcoin staking: Using Bitcoin timestamping as a building block, this protocol allows Bitcoin holders to stake their Bitcoin to PoS blockchains.

+# Snapshot
+
+> When a new node joins a network, it can use a snapshot — a compressed backup of the chain's data — to quickly synchronize with the current state. Snapshots expedite the process, reducing the need to download and verify every transaction from the beginning.
+
+:::info
+Choose a snapshot from the list and run the commands below. Don't forget to change `snapshot_url`.
+:::
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl stop babylond
+
+# make a backup
+cp $HOME/.babylond/data/priv_validator_state.json $HOME/.babylond/priv_validator_state.json.backup 
+
+# reset your node and download a snapshot
