Monero Wallet Restore Height Explained

Restore height is the block height where wallet scanning starts during restore.

How to choose a good restore height

Use a height slightly earlier than wallet creation date. This reduces scan workload while preserving correctness.

What happens if too early or too late

Too early: much slower sync. Too late: may miss earlier outputs until you rescan from an older height.

Safe strategy

When uncertain, choose older than needed. Then optimize with a newer value after confirming transaction history.
