Using Tardigrade and the Decentralized Cloud to Speed Up Sync Times for GETH
We set out to accomplish two goals:
Speed up the blockchain synchronization time for Ethereum Classic developers looking to quickly download the ETC blockchain to their local Nodes
Increase the resiliency, integrity, and distribution of ancient store block data by distributing it across an incentivized network of uncorrelated endpoints
Yes, in my experience, it’s quicker to sync ETC than normal ETH because the chain is so big. It could possibly be used as an incentive to get new operators to the network, though that might be a bad idea.
