This binary implements a SwiftSync client that downloads blocks in parallel from multiple peers, references a hint file, and updates an accumulator. Once the client has reached the stop hash specified in the hint file, the accumulator state is reported as verified or false. For more information, read the [SwiftSync specification](https://gist.github.com/RubenSomsen/a61a37d14182ccd78760e477c78133cd).
