+The call of this function depends on the result of the state transition and must be done when call to the [`state_transition`](../phase0/beacon-chain.md#beacon-chain-state-transition-function) function finishes. The value of the `valid` parameter must be set as follows:

 *Note*: The call to the `process_execution_payload` must happen before the call to the `process_randao` as the former depends on the `randao_mix` computed with the reveal of the previous block.
