I have updated this issue title and description with a bit more info about the scope. This more efficient fetching is just one part of the whole chain sync story.
@ZenGround0 I don't believe you're actively working on it, so unassigning you now.
Description
The spec contains a "BlockSync" protocol for transferring large ranges of blockchain blocks from peers during chain sync. This is expected to reduce the time required for fetching large chains.
Should partially address #2050.
