[UI/UX] As a Mina developer, I want to have an overview of the Snark Worker Node, so I can understand if the node works properly

[lukasimrich]

Thesis: Coordinated snarkers under high load enable higher throughput scan state

Improve Mina's throughput by making the scan state more efficient through the implementation of a snark worker coordinator, which will reduce redundant work and optimize the snark work distribution among snarkers.

Notes: Understand how load/price relates to snark latency

Key components:

Snarkers Dashboard

To analyze the synchronization and communication of snark workers within the network, including during network splits.

Snarker sync over commitments and snarks long term stats

Actions Statistics

Gain insights into the actions of individual snarkers and the overall network to enable debugging and better network insights Notes: Better udnerstand need to have it

Scan State / Coordinated Snarks efficiency vizualization

Figjam board with the entire concept https://www.figma.com/file/yl0z48XRp3PuChPdaGOfgL/Decentralised-Snark-Worker?type=whiteboard&node-id=68-18707&t=qma0X73iRxMGNJmK-4
