Sync in hours

You can use Ordhook to create a comprehensive ordinals database from genesis, but that can take a lot of time. We take daily snapshots of an Ordhook database and store those snapshots in the Hiro Archive every 24 hours. You can use those snapshots to spin up an ordinals database in a matter of hours.
