Description

The dashboard has a field on the overview screen informing the user as to how much space is being used by archiving blocks, membership proofs, and mutator set data. But currently it only holds a placeholder because we don't have a way to calculate that yet.

Tasks:

  • Introduce and implement RPC calls to compute archive size.
  • Introduce and implement RPC calls to compute fraction of blockchain covered by archive (since we only have archival nodes at the moment, for the time being this should be different from 100% only while syncing.)
  • Use RPC calls in dashboard.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine existing RPC handlers in the codebase to understand the pattern, then implement new RPC methods to calculate archive size and blockchain coverage fraction. Finally, integrate these RPC calls into the dashboard frontend.
