+title: Implement archive_unstable_storageDiff method
+
+doc:
+  - audience: Node Dev
+    description: |
+      This PR implements the `archive_unstable_storageDiff` rpc-v2 method.
+      Developers can use this method to fetch the storage differences
+      between two blocks. This is useful for oracles and archive nodes.
+      For more details see: https://github.com/paritytech/json-rpc-interface-spec/blob/main/src/api/archive_unstable_storageDiff.md.
