Segwit: Does the nodes saves 2 types of blocks (or atleast in the past)

Was wondering for a long why mempool.space was showing blocks greater than 1mb!


Started digging deeper and read these:



Able to understand the difference between block size and block weight.


Now few questions



  • To support the legacy nodes, the upgraded Segwit node will be checking the version of each peer. And if its a legacy node, a trimmed down version of the block will be sent to it. Right?

  • Is this stripping down of blocks happens on the fly? or both versions of the block are saved on the disk?


Thanks.
