Why geth node not able to sync with the blockchain?
There could be several reasons why a Geth node may not be able to sync with the blockchain. Here are a few possible reasons and some troubleshooting steps you can take:
- Network Connectivity Issues: Make sure your internet connection is stable and that your firewall or antivirus software isn't blocking Geth's network access. You can also try connecting to a different network to see if the issue persists.
- Insufficient Hardware Resources: Geth requires significant processing power and memory to sync with the blockchain. Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for running Geth, and that you have enough disk space to store the blockchain data.
- Geth Version Mismatch: Make sure you're running the latest version of Geth, as older versions may not be able to sync with the latest blockchain data. You can check the current Geth version and upgrade if necessary.
- Corrupted Data: If the blockchain data on your computer is corrupted, Geth may not be able to sync with it. In this case, you may need to delete your current blockchain data and re-sync from scratch.
- Peer Connection Issues: Geth relies on a network of peers to sync with the blockchain. If you're not able to connect to enough peers, your sync may stall or fail. You can try adding more peers manually, or checking your firewall settings to ensure that Geth is allowed to make outbound connections.
