Tendermint version (use tendermint version or git rev-parse --verify HEAD if installed from source): Present on master.

ABCI app (name for built-in, URL for self-written if it's publicly available): Cosmos-sdk

Environment:

• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release):
• Install tools:
• Others:

What happened:

When querying the Tendermint RPC I was not able to receive the entire genesis due to the network request timing out.

What you expected to happen:

Receive the entire genesis file

Have you tried the latest version: yes

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

Visit https://rpc.cosmos.network/genesis?

Proposed solution

Introduce a new endpoint genesis_chunk which can be used to receive a specific chunk. The total amount of chunks will be sent within the response as well.

The response will be:

{
  "chunk": 1,
  "total": 15,
  "data: <base64-blob>
}
