Issues remain status:open intentionally — the code fixes are uncommitted-then-committed
working-tree changes per repo and aren't "resolved" until merged/deployed.

Scanner: EVM checkpoint saved every 2000-block chunk — write amplification during catch-up

Severity: low Domain: Scanner Labels: performance, scanner

Description

scanner/chain.go:260 saves the checkpoint to SQLite after every 2000-block chunk during catch-up. For a scanner catching up thousands of blocks, this means many small writes per cycle. Saving once per successful scan cycle (or every large N during deep catch-up) would reduce write load.

Options

  1. Save checkpoint only at end of a successful scan cycle.
  2. Save every N chunks (larger N) during catch-up.
  3. Leave as-is (SQLite WAL is efficient).

Recommendation

Persist the checkpoint once per successful cycle (or every large N during deep catch-up).
