yes，This is one of the steps. But it takes a long time to synchronize a full archive node from genesis. I suggest you to download the snapshot https://docs.fantom.foundation/node/snapshot-download This is my setup steps. fantom-startup.zip

Note: downloading a snapshot (which is a zipped copy of datadir) is not a trsutless way at all. You have to trust that datadir is correct New genesis file format should be released in the near future. Once it's released, you will be able to download the archive genesis file (3.1TB) and apply it securely on local machine instead of syncing from scratch. It'll take a bit longer than via snapshot, but it will be trustless

Please use the latest startup method.It is included in the latest version 1.1.1-rc.1
