When a new node joins the network and makes first contact with some node in good health/standing, the original node should send the new node the blockchain (either its exact copy or its copy minus the 6 most recent blocks). From this, the new node should replay the history of the blockchain locally, which will effectively build its copy of the KV store from scratch to reflect the current state of data in the system
