I'm attempting make my own Ethereum client and I'm struggling to find any information regarding Ethereum's synchronization process. I'm aware of how Bitcoin's process works in which a node (with known blocks) can read blk.dat files in order to catch up with the network. Does Ethereum do something similar?
When researching, all I've stumbled on is the use of LevelDB to store state but I believe that the use of this DB is to store data during runtime like account state. Thus, how does Ethereum store blocks permanently so that they can be access in a different runtime instance?
Thanks!
