This is a high-level tracking issue for us to keep track of major problem areas in state sync.

• Nodes sending snapshots which contain 0 chunks
• Our team is not totally familiar with the differences between state sync in v0.36.x and main
• We are unsure of what a holistic, good design for state sync currently looks like

Solutions

Let's try to keep our focus on the problem space as far as possible. Ideally recommendations as to solutions should clearly articulate the problem they're trying to solve.

• Write up an RFC reiterating the goals of state sync and summarizing the current problem space
• Backport differences in state sync from v0.36.x to main
• Support State sync verification over p2p #266
• State sync from local snapshot #27
