Description

Meta issue to track the implementation of having multiple LMDB tables instead of chain and peers. More context here https://github.com/mimblewimble/grin/pull/3320.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the referenced PR #3320 for context on the initial approach. Investigate the current LMDB storage implementation in the 'chain' and 'peers' tables, located likely in the 'store' or 'db' module. Determine how to extend to multiple tables while maintaining backward compatibility.
