Could you build this?
No High-performance blockchain or distributed indexing infrastructure built in Rust requires deep systems programming, distributed consensus, low-level data streaming, and custom storage engines.
What it would actually take: Requires a high-throughput pipeline written in Rust to ingest, decode, and store continuous distributed ledger or event streams. The architecture requires integration with RocksDB or custom LSM-trees, Tokio-based async networking, and complex state reconciliation across reorganizations. Building it requires deep knowledge of systems programming, database internals, and distributed stream processing.

Concerns raised: README unclear about what problem it solves, README formatting difficult to read, Generic AI positioning (sounds like 'something doing something with AI')
Feature requests: Add explanatory paragraph at top of README
