\section{Protocol Versioning}
\label{sec:versioning}
The state sync protocol includes a version negotiation phase:
\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{v1}: Basic chunk download with Merkle proofs (initial release).
\item \textbf{v2}: Incremental sync support and multi-source download.
\item \textbf{v3}: Compressed chunk transfer (Snappy/LZ4) reducing bandwidth by 40\%.
\item \textbf{v4}: (Planned) Verkle tree support for sub-linear proof sizes.
\end{enumerate}
Peers negotiate the highest mutually supported version during the handshake.

\textbf{Version} & \textbf{Feature} & \textbf{Improvement} & \textbf{Deployment} \\
\midrule
v1 & Basic sync & Baseline & Q1 2024 \\
v2 & Incremental + multi-source & 19x faster catch-up & Q3 2024 \\
v3 & Compression & 40\% less bandwidth & Q1 2025 \\
v4 & Verkle proofs & $O(\sqrt{n})$ proofs & Planned \\
