* **Warning**: StateUpdate is only called if Geth is running with
`--snapshot=true`. This is the default behavior for Geth, but if you are
explicitly running with `--snapshot=false` this function will not be invoked.

# Existing Plugins
We currently provide the following plugins:
* [BlockUpdates](./plugins/packages/blockupdates/main.go): A good reference
plugin, which leverages several hooks to provide a new BlockUpdates hook,
which plugins can use to get more cohesive updates about new blocks than can
easily be achieved with the standard PluGeth hooks.
