🧬 Indexing genesis state

[ErikssonJoakim]

In order to have an accurate record of all entities in the database it is important to include the genesis state in the database.

Requirements

• The genesis state needs to be added before indexation of blocks start.
• In case start block other than block 1 it should not be added (question of keeping the record in relation with the intersecting blocks being indexed)
• Only genesis data relevant to the entities indexed should be added

As of date SubQuery does not offer a way to add the genesis state to the postgres database (see subql issue regarding possible future implementation).

For an example state see the okp4-nemeton-1 chain genesis file

Any update on this issue?
Its common for substrate/polkadot-sdk blockchain to have genesis state.

Or are there currently any known work arounds?
