=======================================================
✅ Blockchain compression initialized
✅ Historical block storage ready
✅ RPC proxy routes configured

🌐 Server listening on http://127.0.0.1:3030
📊 Stats available at http://127.0.0.1:3030/stats
🚀 Ready to serve compressed historical blocks!

Interactive Testing

Once the RPC proxy is running, test it with various tools:

Using curl

# Test historical block retrieval (compressed storage)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3030 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getConfirmedBlock",
    "params": [245000000]
  }'

# Test recent block retrieval (proxied to upstream)
curl -X POST http://localhost:3030 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "jsonrpc": "2.0",
    "id": 1,
    "method": "getConfirmedBlock",
    "params": [246000000]
  }'

# View proxy statistics
curl http://localhost:3030/stats

Using Solana CLI (if available)

# Set custom RPC endpoint
export SOLANA_RPC_URL="http://localhost:3030"

# Query historical block (served from compressed storage)
solana block 245000000

# Query recent block (proxied to upstream)
solana block 246000000

# View slot information
solana slot

Performance Testing

# Measure response time for historical blocks
time curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3030 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getConfirmedBlock","params":[245000000]}' \
  > /dev/null

# Measure response time for recent blocks
time curl -s -X POST http://localhost:3030 \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"getConfirmedBlock","params":[246000000]}' \
  > /dev/null

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Slow Compression:

Ensure SSD storage for optimal performance
Increase available memory if possible
Use release build (--release)

Network Connectivity:

Check internet connection for blockchain data access
Verify upstream RPC is accessible
Check firewall settings for port 3030

High Memory Usage:

Reduce batch size in compression
Lower cache size configuration
Monitor with htop or similar tools
