def validate_transaction(tx: Transaction) -> bool:
    """
    Verifies a transaction.

    The gas in a transaction gets used to pay for the intrinsic cost of
    operations, therefore if there is insufficient gas then it would not
    be possible to execute a transaction and it will be declared invalid.

    Additionally, the nonce of a transaction must not equal or exceed the
    limit defined in `EIP-2681 <https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-2681>`_.
    In practice, defining the limit as ``2**64-1`` has no impact because
    sending ``2**64-1`` transactions is improbable. It's not strictly
    impossible though, ``2**64-1`` transactions is the entire capacity of the
    Ethereum blockchain at 2022 gas limits for a little over 22 years.

    Parameters
    ----------
    tx :
        Transaction to validate.

    Returns
    -------
    verified : `bool`
        True if the transaction can be executed, or False otherwise.

def calculate_intrinsic_cost(tx: Transaction) -> Uint:

    Calculates the gas that is charged before execution is started.

    The intrinsic cost of the transaction is charged before execution has
    begun. Functions/operations in the EVM cost money to execute so this
    intrinsic cost is for the operations that need to be paid for as part of
    the transaction. Data transfer, for example, is part of this intrinsic
    cost. It costs ether to send data over the wire and that ether is
    accounted for in the intrinsic cost calculated in this function. This
    intrinsic cost must be calculated and paid for before execution in order
    for all operations to be implemented.

    ----------
    tx :
        Transaction to compute the intrinsic cost of.

def compute_header_hash(header: Header) -> Hash32:
    """
    Computes the hash of a block header.

    The header hash of a block is the canonical hash that is used to refer
    to a specific block and completely distinguishes a block from another.

    ``keccak256`` is a function that produces a 256 bit hash of any input.
    It also takes in any number of bytes as an input and produces a single
    hash for them. A hash is a completely unique output for a single input.
    So an input corresponds to one unique hash that can be used to identify
    the input exactly.

    Prior to using the ``keccak256`` hash function, the header must be
    encoded using the Recursive-Length Prefix. See :ref:`rlp`.
    RLP encoding the header converts it into a space-efficient format that
    allows for easy transfer of data between nodes. The purpose of RLP is to
    encode arbitrarily nested arrays of binary data, and RLP is the primary
    encoding method used to serialize objects in Ethereum's execution layer.
    The only purpose of RLP is to encode structure; encoding specific data
    types (e.g. strings, floats) is left up to higher-order protocols.

    Parameters
    ----------
    header :
        Header of interest.

    Returns
    -------
    hash : `ethereum.crypto.hash.Hash32`

def check_gas_limit(gas_limit: Uint, parent_gas_limit: Uint) -> bool:

    The bounds of the gas limit, ``max_adjustment_delta``, is set as the
    quotient of the parent block's gas limit and the
    ``GAS_LIMIT_ADJUSTMENT_FACTOR``. Therefore, if the gas limit that is
    passed through as a parameter is greater than or equal to the *sum* of
    the parent's gas and the adjustment delta then the limit for gas is too
    high and fails this function's check. Similarly, if the limit is less
    than or equal to the *difference* of the parent's gas and the adjustment
    delta *or* the predefined ``GAS_LIMIT_MINIMUM`` then this function's
    check fails because the gas limit doesn't allow for a sufficient or
    reasonable amount of gas to be used on a block.

    Parameters

    seconds after its parent block then its difficulty is set as the

    forking, the block's difficulty is set to the sum of the delta and
