Quality means doing it right when no one is looking

How Ardor solves blockchain bloat?
A major innovation in Ardor is the pruning of child chain transactions. Such pruning is possible because transactions that don’t modify the ARDR balances (or in other ways affect the proof-of-stake calculations) are not required for finding the chain with best cumulative difficulty. Once a node has found the best chain, it can trust the validity of any data in a given block in that best chain with the same confidence it can trust the validity of a payment included in that block (as far as the protocol enforces forgers to validate this data).
So we exploit this observation by storing the result of the execution of all transactions, i.e. the state of the ledger, into an authenticated data structure, and also including a short digest of this ledger state in each block. A node that processed the blockchain can trust (with certain level of confidence) the validity of the digest if it got enough number of confirmations. Having this digest, the node can download and recreate the state at the respective height from other not trusted nodes.
