The current block listener is robust, and designed to verify the integrity of the chain head, detecting re-orgs so that it does not confirm an event or transaction before the connector is confident that the blocks are stable/finalized.
For permissioned, BFT chains where finalization is immediate this both unnecessary/inefficient, and requires full JSONRPC access to all block receipts. This PR proposes an alternative mode that minimizes the JSONRPC footprint, and trusts the
eth_blockNumberresults as the canonical head block number, still using filters/WS heads to wake up on when to poll for the latest block height.This mode is considered experimental.
