  • All accounts in the state trie have nonce >= IAN.

  • Whenever an account is inserted into the state trie it is initialised with nonce = IAN.

• Genesis generic block hash: 0cd786a2425d16f152c658316c423e6ce1181e15c3295826d7c9904cba9ce303

• Genesis generic state root: f3f4696bbf3b3b07775128eb7a3763279a394e382130f27c21e70233e04946a9
