Is it possible to run a “partial” archive node that only records historical state for certain specified accounts?
Hi guys,
I've been looking at setting up an ethereum archive node to explore historical states of certain smart contract accounts, but the required amount of SSDs is quite large and growing rapidly.
However, given that I'm only interested in a few accounts, it seems like a lot of the work that goes into syncing an archive node (i.e. the work going into verifying transactions and constructing account balances for every random address) would be a waste for my use case.
That got me wondering whether there is a way to setup what would essentially be a full node but with archive information about specific accounts. Has anyone tried/done this? Is it possible? I'd greatly appreciate any pointers! Thanks! 🙂
