Years ago there was a brief vogue for “How X Saved My Startup”.

“How Rust Extensions to SQLite Saved The Blockchain” would be a banger in 2022! Someone do it!

For what it's worth, SQLite works just fine for some blockchains without Rust extensions, e.g. nimbus-eth2[+] uses SQLite with `journal_mode = WAL` to locally persist Beacon Chain data.

Other Beacon Chain client implementations (there are several in wide use) may use SQLite, or something else, I'm not sure at the moment.
