 How to compute a new checkpoint for calibnet:
 
-1. Install Forest and connect to the calibnet: `forest --chain calibnet --encrypt-keystore false`
-2. Wait for Forest to catch up to the network: `forest-cli sync wait`
-3. Compute new checkpoint hash: `forest-cli chain tipset-hash`
-4. Add the checkpoint hash to the checkpoint [yaml file][yaml].
+1. Install `forest-cli`
+2. Download calibnet snapshot: `forest-cli --chain calibnet snapshot fetch`
+3. Decompress snapshot: `zstd -d forest_snapshot_calibnet_*.car.zst`
+4. Extract checkpoints: `forest-cli archive checkpoints forest_snapshot_calibnet_*.car`
+5. Put checkpoints in `build/known_blocks.yaml`
 
 For mainnet, run the same commands but use `--chain mainnet` instead of `--chain calibnet`.
