not strictly required for this epic, but a nice-to-have
### pros
- faster (less data transferred)
### cons

The issue names the wallet server API and Stratum compatibility but no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the wallet server API and documenting how Stratum clients interact with it. Done would require a decided protocol approach with its transfer benefits and compatibility impact established.
