Previously there was a tx cache that you passed in as part of the sync request. This seems bad and the example show'd that you should copy all your transactions from the transaction graph into the sync request every time you sync'd. If you forgot to do this then you would always download everything. Instead just do a plain old simple cache inside the electrum client. This way at least you only download transactions once. You can pre-populate the cache with a method also and I did this in the examples.
The Bitcoin Dev Kit
BDK
A modern, lightweight, descriptor-based wallet library written in Rust!

About
The bdk libraries aims to provide well engineered and reviewed components for Bitcoin based applications.
It is built upon the excellent rust-bitcoin and rust-miniscript crates.
⚠ The Bitcoin Dev Kit developers are in the process of releasing a
v1.0which is a fundamental re-write of how the library works. See for some background on this project: https://bitcoindevkit.org/blog/road-to-bdk-1/ (ignore the timeline 😁) For a release timeline see theBDK 1.0 project page.
Architecture
The project is split up into several crates in the /crates directory:
wallet: Contains the central high levelWallettype that is built from the low-level mechanisms provided by the other componentschain: Tools for storing and indexing chain datapersist: Types that define data persistence of a BDK walletfile_store: A (experimental) persistence backend for storing chain data in a single file.esplora: Extends theesplora-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an esplora HTTP server in the form thatbdk_chainandWalletcan consume.electrum: Extends theelectrum-clientcrate with methods to fetch chain data from an electrum server in the form thatbdk_chainandWalletcan consume.
Fully working examples of how to use these components are in /example-crates:
example_cli: Library used by theexample_*crates. Provides utilities for syncing, showing the balance, generating addresses and creating transactions without using the bdk_walletWallet.example_electrum: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cliand theelectrumcrate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain+file_store+electrum), without depending on the mainbdk_walletlibrary.example_esplora: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cliand theesploracrate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain+file_store+esplora), without depending on the mainbdk_walletlibrary.example_bitcoind_rpc_polling: A command line Bitcoin wallet application built on top ofexample_cliand thebitcoind_rpccrate. It shows the power of the bdk tools (chain+file_store+bitcoind_rpc), without depending on the mainbdk_walletlibrary.wallet_esplora_blocking: Uses theWalletto sync and spend using the Esplora blocking interface.wallet_esplora_async: Uses theWalletto sync and spend using the Esplora asynchronous interface.wallet_electrum: Uses theWalletto sync and spend using Electrum.
Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV)
This library should compile with any combination of features with Rust 1.63.0.
To build with the MSRV you will need to pin dependencies as follows:
cargo update -p zstd-sys --precise "2.0.8+zstd.1.5.5"
cargo update -p time --precise "0.3.20"
cargo update -p home --precise "0.5.5"
cargo update -p proptest --precise "1.2.0"
