Summary
crates/execution-config/src/defaults.rs has two FIXME: Update this to the actual snapshot URL. comments attached to https://snapshots.arc.network/5042002:
// FIXME: Update this to the actual snapshot URL.
/// Default snapshot URL for Arc Network testnet (chain ID 5042002).
pub(crate) const DEFAULT_DOWNLOAD_URL: &str = "https://snapshots.arc.network/5042002";
and again a few lines later in init_download_urls() on the available_snapshots entry.
This is already the real, production snapshot URL, not a placeholder — confirmed two ways:
crates/snapshots/src/download.rs uses the same host with no such disclaimer:
pub const SNAPSHOT_API_BASE_URL: &str = "https://snapshots.arc.network/api";
docs/running-an-arc-node.md documents https://snapshots.arc.network directly to users as the endpoint arc-snapshots fetches from, with no caveat about it being provisional.
Chain ID 5042002 also checks out independently as Arc Testnet (matches third-party RPC listings).
Why this is worth fixing
A stale FIXME reading 'update this to the actual URL' next to a URL that already is the actual URL is actively misleading — it invites a future contributor to 'fix' something that isn't broken, or to distrust a value that's already correct. Low severity, but it's a two-line removal once someone's looked into it.
Note
I only independently verified the testnet URL (5042002); didn't verify the devnet one (5042001) against an external source the way I did for testnet, so I'm not asserting that one's FIXME is stale by the same evidence — just flagging both exist textually. Happy to send the PR removing the FIXME(s) once confirmed.
