Description

When Graph Node is using a Firehose for indexing, it updates the block pointer for every block. This is a time-consuming step, and is likely a significant contributor to sync time. This could be optimised by updating this periodically during syncing (per x blocks / per amount of time?)

  • Implementation
  • Testing
  • Refactor instance_manager.rs (moved to #3224 )
