Fascinating to learn how hard it is to get blockchain data and chain history.
Archive nodes run every state at every block. Geth hash archive is *20TB+* and growing. Syncing from genesis "may take months".
Very few infra providers (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode, Ankr) can run an archive node. Feels like a dirty secret.
