# `block_sim` is a block and attestation simulator similar to `state_sim` whose
# task is to run the beacon chain without considering the network or the
# wall clock. Functionally, it achieves the same as the distributed beacon chain
# by producing blocks and attestations as if they were created by separate
# nodes, just like a set of `beacon_node` instances would.
#
# Similar to `state_sim`, but uses the block and attestation pools along with
# a database, as if a real node was running.
