# Fast Sync

In this step you need to use fast sync or catch up to make more faster to reach the latest block.

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
goal node catchup $(curl -s https://algorand-catchpoints.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/channel/mainnet/latest.catchpoint) -d /var/lib/algorand/
```

{% endcode %}

Check your node status.

```bash
goal node status -d /var/lib/algorand
```

Here is the result after your node fully synced using fast sync.

{% hint style="info" %}
If your **Sync Time** is *0.0s*, that means your node already reach latest block. To reach the latest block, it depends your VPS specs, It takes around 1-2 hours.
{% endhint %}

Now your Algorand Node Mainnet is ready to use. Now you can do next step to run goracle node and using your own algorand node API.
