-| [Snap](../../public-networks/concepts/node-sync.md#snap-synchronization)             | Recommended for fastest sync and lowest storage requirements on Mainnet. Downloads as many leaves of the trie as possible and reconstructs the trie locally. Faster than fast sync. | Available as an _early access feature_ in Besu version 24.7.1 or later | Cannot switch from fast sync to snap sync mid-process. |

+PoW consensus is deprecated in Besu version 24.11.0 and later. Please read this [blog post](https://www.lfdecentralizedtrust.org/blog/sunsetting-tessera-and-simplifying-hyperledger-besu) for more context on the rationale behind this decision as well as alternative options.

 A private network provides a configurable network for testing. By configuring a low difficulty and enabling mining, this allows for fast block creation.
