Description

Currently every restart will result in all stored data being reverified. We should cache the bitfield to disk once in while so this is not needed.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the bitfield storage mechanism in the codebase, identify where bitfield data is held in memory, and implement periodic serialization to disk. Start by looking at the Bitfield class or similar structure, then add a function to save it to a file on a timer or on certain events. Also ensure to load it on startup.
