+## `TransactionBlob`
+
+The `Blob` inserts a simple binary blob in the chain. It's raw immutable data that can be cheaply loaded by the VM and used as instructions or just data. Unlike `Create`, it doesn't hold any state or balances.
+
+`Blob`s are content-addressed, i.e. the they are uniquely identified by hash of the data field. Programs running on the VM can load an already-posted blob just by the hash, without having to specify it in contract inputs.
