Description

Currently the sidechain node has a memory leak as we don't clean the mempool, leading to couple gigabytes of usage after days.

This is easily solved by restarting the node, but it's non ideal.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the sidechain node creates, retains, and clears its mempool, then inspect the restart behavior described in the issue. Done means the mempool no longer grows to gigabytes over several days and the node does not require restarting to reclaim that memory.
