Tracking Issue: Full Fast Sync Support #56
Description
The fast sync feature in Subcoin has been demonstrated to work, but it is not yet fully functional for practical use. Specifically, syncing to the latest Bitcoin state via fast sync is currently infeasible due to certain limitations within the Substrate framework. This issue tracks the progress toward a fully operational fast sync feature that is user-friendly and capable of syncing to the tip of the Bitcoin network.
Key Obstacles
- Using warp sync on parachain triggers OOM paritytech/polkadot-sdk#5053
- Persistent State Storage for Improved State Syncing paritytech/polkadot-sdk#4
Enhancements (Nice to have)
- Why request block body for fast sync? paritytech/polkadot-sdk#5406
- Partially supported our polkadot-sdk fork
- Compress the state response to reduce the state sync data transfer paritytech/polkadot-sdk#5312
- Patched our polkadot-sdk fork
- Improve the state sync progress report paritytech/polkadot-sdk#5397
- Implemented using a custom request-response protocol
