Description
This pull request uses the finalized block tag as the indicator for chain freezing.
Originally, the latest 90K blocks will be retained in the key-value store by default, which are regarded as "non-finalized" in the context of Proof-of-work. However, in Proof-of-stake, we do have the concrete finalized block tag from the consensus client. Therefore, it makes more sense to directly rely on the Finalized for chain freezing.
Rationale
By deploying it on a full node, we can see there are only 23 blocks left in the key-value store.
Example
add an example CLI or API response...
