 ## Bootstrap testing
 
-Bootstrapping an avalanchego node on a persistent network like mainnet

-running be compatible with the historical data of that
+Bootstrapping an avalanchego node on a persistent network like

+node is running be compatible with the historical data of that
 network. Bootstrapping regularly is a good way of insuring against
 regressions in compatibility.
 
-## Types of bootstrap
+### Types of bootstrap testing for C-Chain
 
-### Full Sync
+#### State Sync
 
-### Pruning
+A bootstrap with state sync enabled (the default) ensures that only
+recent blocks will be processed.
 
-### State Sync
+#### Full Sync
+
+All history will be processed, though with pruning (enabled by
+default) not all history will be stored.
+
+To enable, supply `state-sync-enabled: false` as C-Chain configuration.
