//! blockchains, is referred to as "ledger".
//!
//! **Synonyms**: Onchain data, Onchain storage, Storage, Ledger

//! #### State Transition Function
//!
//! The WASM Blob that dictates how the blockchain should transition its state upon encountering new
//! blocks.
//!
//! #### Host
//!
//! The environment that hosts and executes the [state transition function's WASM
//! blob](#state-transition-function).
//!
//! #### Client
//!
//! The full software artifact that contains the [host](#host), but importantly also all the other
//! modules needed to be part of a blockchain network, such as peer-to-peer networking, database and
