Description

Issue To Be Solved

The developer cannot query the genesis file from RPC now. Would be great if there is a gRPC endpoint that does that function.

(Optional): Context

It would be good to backup historical data on the chain.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing RPC/gRPC service entry points and how the chain's genesis file is represented. Determine the response shape needed for developers to retrieve and back up historical chain data. Done means a gRPC endpoint can return the genesis file through RPC.
