### Memory-Mapped Files
`rosetta-bitcoin` uses [memory-mapped files](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory-mapped_file) to
persist data in the `indexer`. As a result, you **must** run `rosetta-bitcoin` on a 64-bit
architecture (the virtual address space easily exceeds 100s of GBs) and may need to increase the
allocated size of swap space to avoid a kernel OOM.

If you receive a kernel OOM, you may need to increase the allocated size of swap space

## Architecture
`rosetta-bitcoin` uses the `syncer`, `storage`, `parser`, and `server` package
