Abstract
An example operation may include one or more of connecting, by a sparse peer, to a blockchain network of a plurality of peers controlled by orderers, configuring the sparse peer to operate with a partial state of a chain to reduce a bootstrap time of the sparse peer, specifying, by the sparse peer, data selection filters based on the partial state of the chain, receiving, by the sparse peer, blocks that match the selection filters from the plurality of the peers via a gossip, storing, by the sparse peer, the blocks in a ledger of the sparse peer, determining, by the sparse peer, if the ledger of the sparse peer is up-to-date based on the partial state of the chain, and in response to the determination that the ledger of the sparse peer is up-to-date, bootstrapping the sparse peer.
