Data archive request: Columbus-5 historical blockstore (blocks 4,724,001 → 7,607,789)

[frytegg]

Context

I'm building an academic dataset for a tracking-error and depeg-mechanics
study covering DAI, Synthetix synths and TerraUSD as canonical stablecoin
case studies. The UST chapter requires minute-resolution on-chain data
across the Columbus-5 window — block range 4,724,001 (30 Sept 2021) →
7,607,789 (12 May 2022 first chain halt).

What I'm looking for

A tar of an archival blockstore + state (the data/ directory of a
classic-terra/core node that fully synced from Columbus-5 genesis with
pruning disabled). Approximate size: 500-800 GB compressed. I'd mount it
locally, expose LCD, and run my own indexers for:

• market/MsgSwap events (UST↔LUNA mint/burn through the algorithmic module)
• bank supply snapshots (uusd denom, daily resolution)
• oracle exchange rate votes
• wasm execute messages filtered on Anchor, TerraSwap, Astroport contracts

What I've already checked (none works for this window)

• columbus-genesis.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com — stops at
  columbus-4-data.tar.lz4 (Jan 2022), no Columbus-5 dump available
• Hexxagon snapshots — only pruned recent state (e.g.
  snapshot-goleveldb-28556994.tar.lz4, ~89 GB, recent height)
• PublicNode / Polkachu / Quicksync / NowNodes — earliest_block in
  the high-20M range (April 2026 onwards), all pruned
• Flipside Crypto — Terra support discontinued 2025-07-01, repo
  FlipsideCrypto/terra-models removed
• Dune / Allium / Numia / The Graph — no Terra Classic indexing
• Resync from Columbus-5 genesis — blocked by the absence of an
  archival P2P peer serving historical blocks

What I can offer

• Acknowledgement in the resulting academic publication
• Open-sourced parquet output and indexing code once the analysis lands

No archive snapshots are available. Archive state is far above 500-800GB size, it is 22TB+ size.
No public archive nodes are available, only private instances that you can rent. E.g. from Allnodes or Hexxagon.
Resync from Genesis is possible but will take months and a lot of work and "figuring out".
