Prerequisites

Describe the Feature Request

AssumeUTXO allows for a Bitcoin Core node to be usable faster by loading a recent UTXO set snapshot and syncing from there. Full IBD still happens, but later and in the background. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/design/assumeutxo.md and bitcoin/bitcoin#28553. I am happy to answer questions about usage if the documentation is not clear.

The mainnet parameters were recently merged so support will be available starting with the release of v28 (ca. October), you can track it here: bitcoin/bitcoin#29891.

Describe the Use Case

Start9 nodes could be usable much faster because users don't have to wait for the full IBD to finish, especially if the used computer is underpowered.
