blockchain v0.1.5 Blockchain.Chain
Represents the information about a specific chain. This will either be a current chain (such as homestead), or a test chain (such as ropsten). Different chains have different parameters, such as accounts with an initial balance and when EIPs are implemented.
For compatibility, we’ll use the configuration files from Parity: https://github.com/paritytech/parity/tree/master/ethcore/res/ethereum

Functions
Loads a given blockchain, such as Homestead or Ropsten. This chain is used to set the genesis block and tweak parameters of the Blockchain and EVM
