Summary
Utreexo allows transferring validation state between devices. A node that has already completed IBD (Initial Block Download) can export its accumulator state (e.g., as a QR code), and a new node can import it to skip IBD entirely.
Mandacaru should support importing this state so users can sync a node on their computer, then load the accumulator on their phone and start validating immediately — no need to sync from scratch.
Requirements
- Text input: Allow users to paste the Utreexo accumulator data directly
- QR code scanner: Allow users to scan a QR code containing the accumulator state from another device (e.g., desktop Floresta node)

One cool thing about Utreexo is that you can "transfer validation" between devices. This QR code has everything you need to start a new node. Imagine if you can sync a node on your computer, then load a QR code on your phone, and you just skip IBD completely on it.
