Hi @ElliotFriend! Yeah, this is definitely a good first issue. Do note that the helper for (1) was added in stellar/js-stellar-base#482, but (2) would still be useful to anyone working...

That's a great question :thinking: I don't think starting at the earliest available ledger is a good idea. Based on our research, _recent_ ledgers make much more sense to cache...

From an cursory glance, it seems like the main task to achieving this becomes reimplementing the `ledgerbackend/HistoryArchiveBackend` and its dependents in Rust in order to fetch from txmeta archives in...

It'd be `metaarchive.MetaArchive` now, heh. You would only need to write a subset of ingestion related to events, right? So mostly XDR parsing and some Pre/Post change stuff. I wouldn't...

Some initial notes I made regarding using BitTorrent: There are a few benefits: * lower cost, since we wouldn't need to pay S3 storage and egress costs * though we...

That's very true @bartekn: there's an initial startup time to connecting to the swarm before you can download. If you want more than a handful of ledgers, though, that startup...

This is released in stellar-base and stellar-sdk now!

This will be a long reply but I think worthwhile both for current and future context, particularly for myself as a newer maintainer. **TL;DR**: There are no suitable, secure alternatives...

Thank you for taking the time to write such a thorough reply! I'll try to respond to all of your points in turn. ### Re: `sodium-native` > By all indications...
