 block propagation are handed over to the consensus layer, but all of Geth's other functionality remains
 intact. This means transactions, contract deployments and data queries can still be handled by Geth using
 the same methods as before.

 The listening address of the engine API is configurable. It is also possible to self-generate the JWT secret and feed the resulting file to Geth. To generate the secret, run:
 
 ```shell

 openssl rand -hex 32 | tr -d "\n" > "/tmp/jwtsecret"
