I was following tendermint quick start. when I ran following commands
tendermint init
tendermint node --proxy_app=kvstore
Ideally, it should start node with latest_block_height 1. But without any transaction height is not stopping and going upto more than 2000.
that is default config,even without any txs it will generate a new empty block.
if you don’t like it,start like below
tendermint node --consensus.create_empty_blocks=false --proxy_app=kvstore
