Data Management

This section explains how Kaia nodes synchronize with the blockchain and manage the growing storage requirements associated with blockchain data.

📄️ Block Synchronization

Block synchronization is the process of updating a node with the latest blocks and states from the Kaia blockchain. Node operators can choose from various synchronization methods based on their hardware specifications and service requirements.

📄️ Storage Optimization

As the Kaia blockchain grows, so does the storage required to store the chain data. Kaia implements two main techniques to manage this growing storage requirement:
