> With current implementation we don't save the rescan progress and on the next load we will have to start from scratch. Is it possible to save the last processed blocked at shutdown?

It would be nice if wallet code would call `WriteBestBlock` and save the last scan position if it is interrupted during a sync. This could be implemented by trying to save the scan position during the shutdown, or by just periodically saving the scan position after an interval, similar to indexing code which saves sync position once every 30 seconds:

void AddToSpends(const CWalletTx& wtx, WalletBatch* batch = nullptr) EXCLUSIVE_LOCKS_REQUIRED(cs_wallet);
    /**
     * Add a transaction to the wallet, or update it.  confirm.block_* should
     * be set when the transaction was known to be included in a block.  When
     * block_hash.IsNull(), then wallet state is not updated in AddToWallet, but
     * notifications happen and cached balances are marked dirty.
     *
     * If fUpdate is true, existing transactions will be updated.
     * TODO: One exception to this is that the abandoned state is cleared under the

     * Abandoned state should probably be more carefully tracked via different
     * chain notifications or by checking mempool presence when necessary.
     *
     * Should be called with rescanning_old_block set to true, if the transaction is
     * not discovered in real time, but during a rescan of old blocks.
