-* The node's Unix time is greater than or equal to `state.genesis_time + block.slot * SECONDS_PER_SLOT`. (Note that leap seconds mean that slots will occasionally last `SECONDS_PER_SLOT + 1` or `SECONDS_PER_SLOT - 1` seconds, possibly several times a year.)

 If these conditions are not met, the client should delay processing the beacon block until the conditions are all satisfied.
