Future Hedera development might benefit from having the capabilities of performing tests and final validations on a real production state, while using local development network. This could both save time to mimic the exact state of a given network (which is also prone to error) and in debugging issues reported for a specific network and set of entities. Shadow forking could be integrated into Hedera’s local-node inside mirror node as initial step and strongly benefit these use cases.
