To support faster syncing, tendermint offers a `fast-sync` mode, which is enabled by default, and can be toggled in the `config.toml` or via `--fast_sync=false`.
In this mode, the tendermint daemon will sync hundreds of times faster than if it used the real-time consensus process. Once caught up, the daemon will switch out of fast sync and into the normal consensus mode. After running for some time, the node is considered `caught up` if it has at least one peer and it's height is at least as high as the max reported peer height. See [the IsCaughtUp method](https://github.com/tendermint/tendermint/blob/master/blockchain/pool.go#L128).
