on it.

@chirag-bgh happy to chat high-level strategy before you get too far

ideally we can keep most of the current client architecture as is and just support SSZ {de,en}coding for the methods that support it, where we can dispatch on Content-Type before proceeding down either way

ralexstokes commented 1 year ago

we should add some kind of Codec input when constructing a client, and then the client should use the input to support the more efficient encodings where possible
