+# Implementation Plan for Issue #875
+
+**Issue URL**: https://github.com/lightninglabs/taproot-assets/issues/875
+**Title**: [feature]: Paginate `ListAssets` RPC
+**Created**: 2024-04-11T09:33:13Z
+**Labels**: enhancement, optimization, scalability, performance, pagination
+
+## Issue Summary
+
+The `ListAssets`, `ListGroups`, `ListUtxos`, and `AddrReceives` RPC calls currently return all items without pagination support. This causes significant performance issues as datasets grow - with 250 asset UTXOs taking approximately 1 second to list. The issue requires implementing pagination following existing patterns using `offset`, `limit`, and `direction` parameters to avoid bottlenecks and improve scalability.
+
+## Technical Analysis
+
+### Current State
+- **Performance Issue**: 250 UTXOs = 1 second response time, scaling linearly
+- **Memory Inefficiency**: All results loaded into memory simultaneously
+- **Implementation Gap**: `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/rpcserver.go:1162` contains TODO confirming pagination need
+- **Filtering Limitation**: Current filtering happens in Go code after fetching all records from database
+
+### Proposed Changes
+- Add pagination parameters to request messages following existing patterns
+- Implement database-level pagination with LIMIT/OFFSET clauses
+- Move filtering logic from application layer to SQL WHERE clauses
+- Add cursor-based pagination for improved performance at scale
+- Implement complementary count RPCs (issue #1699) for UI support
+
+### Affected Components
+**Proto Definitions:**
+- `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/taprpc/taprootassets.proto`
+  - ListAssetRequest (lines 210-255)
+  - ListUtxosRequest (lines 611-621)
+  - ListGroupsRequest (lines 659-660)
+  - AddrReceivesRequest (lines 1471-1477)
+
+**RPC Implementations:**
+- `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/rpcserver.go`
+  - ListAssets (lines 1086-1356)
+  - ListUtxos (lines 1360-1426)
+  - ListGroups (lines 1429-1476)
+  - AddrReceives (lines 2187-2260)
+
+**Database Layer:**
+- `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/tapdb/assets_store.go`
+- `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/tapdb/sqlc/queries/assets.sql`
+- `/Users/roasbeef/gocode/src/github.com/lightninglabs/query-assets-pages/tapdb/addrs.go`
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Proto Definition Updates
+- [ ] Add PaginationParams message type with limit, offset, and cursor fields
+- [ ] Add PaginationResponse message type with metadata (total_count, has_more, next_cursor)
+- [ ] Update all four request messages with optional pagination field
+- [ ] Update all four response messages with pagination metadata
+- [ ] Regenerate protobuf bindings
+
+### Phase 2: Database Query Updates
+- [ ] Create new paginated SQL queries in `/tapdb/sqlc/queries/assets.sql`
+  - [ ] QueryAssetsPaginated with LIMIT/OFFSET support
+  - [ ] CountAssets for total count without fetching data
+  - [ ] FetchGroupedAssetsPaginated for groups
+  - [ ] FetchManagedUTXOsPaginated for UTXOs
+  - [ ] FetchAddrEventsPaginated for address events
+- [ ] Add database indexes for efficient pagination:
+  ```sql
+  CREATE INDEX assets_pagination_idx ON assets(asset_id, spent);
+  CREATE INDEX utxos_pagination_idx ON managed_utxos(utxo_id);
+  CREATE INDEX addr_events_pagination_idx ON addr_events(creation_time, id);
+  ```
+- [ ] Regenerate SQLC code
+
+### Phase 3: Asset Store Layer Updates
+- [ ] Implement FetchAllAssetsPaginated in assets_store.go
+- [ ] Implement FetchGroupedAssetsPaginated 
+- [ ] Implement FetchManagedUTXOsPaginated
+- [ ] Implement FetchAddrEventsPaginated
+- [ ] Add cursor encoding/decoding logic
+- [ ] Handle edge cases (empty results, out-of-bounds)
+
+### Phase 4: RPC Server Implementation
+- [ ] Update ListAssets to use paginated database queries
+- [ ] Remove in-memory filtering (line 1162 TODO)
+- [ ] Update ListUtxos with pagination support
+- [ ] Update ListGroups with pagination support
+- [ ] Update AddrReceives with pagination support
+- [ ] Implement backwards compatibility (default behavior when no pagination params)
+- [ ] Add request parameter validation
+
+### Phase 5: Count RPC Implementation (Issue #1699)
+- [ ] Add CountAssets RPC method
+- [ ] Add CountUtxos RPC method
+- [ ] Add CountGroups RPC method
+- [ ] Add CountAddrReceives RPC method
+- [ ] Implement efficient COUNT queries without data fetching
+
+### Phase 6: CLI Updates
+- [ ] Update `/cmd/commands/assets.go` with pagination flags
+- [ ] Update `/cmd/commands/addrs.go` with pagination flags
+- [ ] Add --page-size and --page flags to relevant commands
+- [ ] Update CLI output formatting for paginated results
+
+## Technical Considerations
+
+### Architecture Impact
+- **Cursor-based pagination recommended** over offset-based for performance at scale
+- **Database indexes critical** for sub-second response times
+- **Connection pooling** needs optimization for concurrent paginated requests
+- **Caching strategy**: 30-second TTL for consistency with limited result caching
+
+### Security Considerations
+- **Input Validation Required**:
+  - Limit max page size to 1000 records
+  - Validate offset/cursor parameters to prevent integer overflow
+  - Sanitize cursor content to prevent injection attacks
+- **Rate Limiting**: Implement per-IP rate limits to prevent DoS via rapid pagination
+- **Resource Limits**: Set maximum memory usage per request (10MB recommended)
+- **Privacy**: Ensure cursor doesn't leak sensitive information
+- **Authorization**: Maintain existing access controls with pagination
+
+### Performance Implications
+- **Expected Improvements**:
+  - Response time: 1s → 50-100ms for 250 UTXOs (20x improvement)
+  - Memory usage: O(n) → O(page_size)
+  - Network bandwidth: 90% reduction for typical use cases
+- **Database Optimization**:
+  - Use covering indexes for common query patterns
+  - Implement query plan caching
+  - Consider read replicas for heavy pagination loads
+
+### Dependencies
+- No external library dependencies required
+- Must maintain compatibility with existing gRPC clients
+- Coordinate with frontend teams for UI pagination components
+
+## Testing Plan
+
+### Unit Tests
+- Pagination parameter validation (boundary conditions, invalid inputs)
+- Cursor encoding/decoding logic
+- Database query generation with various filters
+- Empty result set handling
+- Default parameter behavior
+
+### Integration Tests
+- Multi-page traversal consistency
+- Concurrent pagination requests
+- Real-time data modifications during pagination
+- Backwards compatibility verification
+- Large dataset handling (1000+ items)
+
+### End-to-End Tests
+- CLI pagination commands
+- gRPC client pagination flows
+- Performance benchmarks (250, 500, 1000 UTXOs)
+- Memory usage monitoring
+- Database connection pool stress testing
+
+### Edge Cases to Test
+- Page size = 0 (should use default)
+- Offset beyond total count
+- Invalid/tampered cursor values
+- Pagination during active minting/spending
+- Database transaction isolation
+
+## Reviewer Checklist
+
+**Important points for PR reviewers:**
+
+- [ ] Proto changes maintain backwards compatibility
+- [ ] Database queries use parameterized statements (no SQL injection risk)
+- [ ] Input validation prevents DoS attacks (max limits enforced)
+- [ ] Cursor implementation doesn't leak internal state
+- [ ] Database indexes added for all pagination queries
+- [ ] Memory usage bounded per request
+- [ ] Error messages don't expose sensitive information
+- [ ] Tests cover all edge cases and security scenarios
+- [ ] Documentation updated with pagination examples
+- [ ] Performance meets targets (<100ms for 250 UTXOs)
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Code Conventions
+- Follow existing pagination pattern from Universe RPCs
+- Use established `offset`/`limit`/`direction` parameter names
+- Maintain consistent error handling patterns
+- Use context for request cancellation support
+
+### Potential Gotchas
+- Current in-memory filtering at line 1162 must be moved to SQL
+- Asset witness data can be large - consider separate pagination
+- Group pagination needs special handling for grouped results
+- Address events have time-based ordering requirements
+
+### Alternative Approaches Considered
+- **gRPC Streaming**: Rejected due to poor backwards compatibility and client complexity
+- **Offset-only pagination**: Rejected due to O(n) performance degradation
+- **Fixed page sizes**: Rejected to maintain flexibility for different use cases
+
+## Estimated Effort
+
+- **Development**: 3-4 days
+- **Testing**: 2 days
+- **Code Review**: 1 day
+- **Total**: 6-7 days
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- [ ] ListAssets responds in <100ms for 250 UTXOs
+- [ ] Memory usage stays below 10MB per request
+- [ ] All existing clients continue to work without modifications
+- [ ] Database CPU usage reduced by >50% for large asset lists
+- [ ] No security vulnerabilities introduced (passes security audit)
+- [ ] 100% test coverage for pagination logic
+- [ ] Documentation includes clear pagination examples
+
+## Additional Context for Implementation Agent
+
+### Example Pagination Request
+```proto
+ListAssetRequest {
+    with_witness: true,
+    include_spent: false,
+    pagination: {
+        limit: 50,
+        offset: 0,
+        cursor: "" // For subsequent pages
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Example Paginated SQL Query
+```sql
+-- Based on existing QueryAssets, add pagination
+SELECT * FROM assets 
+JOIN genesis_info_view ON assets.genesis_id = genesis_info_view.gen_asset_id
+WHERE spent = false
+ORDER BY asset_id
+LIMIT $1 OFFSET $2;
+```
+
+### Cursor Structure (Base64 encoded JSON)
+```json
+{
+    "last_id": 12345,
+    "last_timestamp": "2024-04-11T09:33:13Z",
+    "direction": "asc",
+    "filter_hash": "abc123" // Hash of active filters for consistency
+}
+```
