ChainInfo {
    best_block_height: BlockHeight(
        28507,
    ),
    best_block_id: Id<GenBlock>{0x76c0c6eb8bf382db8336588cdf5adf4ad178cec456959ea28e003100be8affea},
    best_block_timestamp: BlockTimestamp {
        timestamp: 1693830819,
    },
    median_time: BlockTimestamp {
        timestamp: 1693830219,
    },
    is_initial_block_download: false,
}
