Question: Per-block vs entire-chain accumulator?

[SilentCicero]

I'm still trying to understand the design here, but would it be that you have a single accumulator per block or would it be feasible to have a single accumulator for the entire chain?

Over the entire chain seems like better UX but less ideal as locating primes in that fashion feels very heavy.

Can the developers share any insights here?

Hi @SilentCicero.

but would it be that you have a single accumulator per block or would it be feasible to have a single accumulator for the entire chain?

I'm not sure if I get this question. There's only one accumulator that represents the utxo set at a given height.

Over the entire chain seems like better UX but less ideal as locating primes in that fashion feels very heavy.

Could you please clarify what you mean here? Do you mean finding a node inside the forest? We keep an index of node hashes and node positions to help with that.
