Why this should be merged
Moves most EVM block data out of the general-purpose KV store into dedicated height-indexed block databases optimized for block storage, reducing KV usage and compaction impact.
How this works
The
blockdb.Databasewrapsethdb.Databaseand routes block data by key prefix, while leaving non-block data on the KV store.allowDeferredInit, initialization can wait until the minimum block height is known (e.g., via state sync). That minimum is then persisted and cannot be changed without recreating the block databases.Migrations
Canonical block data is migrated from the KV store to the height-indexed databases in the background.
How this was tested
