// Currently we store blocks by prefixing `block` to their hash and
// using that as the key to store blocks.
// `block` + hash -> block
//
// We store the crystallized state using the crystallized state lookup key, and
// also the genesis block using the genesis lookup key.
// The canonical head is stored using the canonical head lookup key.

// The fields below define the suffix of keys in the db.
