-//! # Minimal Template
-//!
-//! This is a minimal template for creating a blockchain using the Polkadot SDK.
-//!
-//! ## Components
-//!
-//! The template consists of the following components:
-//!
-//! ### Node
-//!
-//! A minimal blockchain [`node`](`minimal_template_node`) that is capable of running a
-//! runtime. It uses a simple chain specification, provides an option to choose Manual or
-//! InstantSeal for consensus and exposes a few commands to interact with the node.
-//!
-//! ### Runtime
-//!
-//! A minimal [`runtime`](`minimal_template_runtime`) (or a state transition function) that
-//! is capable of being run on the node. It is built using the [`FRAME`](`frame`) framework
-//! that enables the composition of the core logic via separate modules called "pallets".
-//! FRAME defines a complete DSL for building such pallets and the runtime itself.
-//!
-//! #### Transaction Fees
-//!
-//! The runtime charges a transaction fee for every transaction that is executed. The fee is
-//! calculated based on the weight of the transaction (accouting for the execution time) and
-//! length of the call data. Please refer to
-//! [`benchmarking docs`](`polkadot_sdk_docs::reference_docs::frame_benchmarking_weight`) for
-//! more information on how the weight is calculated.
-//!
-//! This template sets the fee as independent of the weight of the extrinsic and fixed for any
-//! length of the call data for demo purposes.
-//!
-//! ### Pallet
-//!
-//! A minimal [`pallet`](`pallet_minimal_template`) that is built using FRAME. It is a unit of
-//! encapsulated logic that has a clearly defined responsibility and can be linked to other pallets.
-//!
-//! ## Getting Started
-//!
-//! To get started with the template, follow the steps below:
-//!
-//! ### Build the Node
-//!
-//! Build the node using the following command:
-//!
-//! ```bash
-//! cargo build -p minimal-template-node --release
-//! ```
-//!
-//! ### Run the Node
-//!
-//! Run the node using the following command:
-//!
-//! ```bash
-//! ./target/release/minimal-template-node --dev
-//! ```
-//!
-//! ### CLI Options
-//!
-//! The node exposes a few options that can be used to interact with the node. To see the list of
-//! available options, run the following command:
-//!
-//! ```bash
-//! ./target/release/minimal-template-node --help
-//! ```
-//!
-//! #### Consensus Algorithm
-//!
-//! In order to run the node with a specific consensus algorithm, use the `--consensus` flag. For
-//! example, to run the node with ManualSeal consensus with a block time of 5000ms, use the
-//! following command:
-//!
-//! ```bash
-//! ./target/release/minimal-template-node --dev --consensus manual-seal-5000
-//! ```
