"""

    Transforms the state from the previous hard fork (`old`) into the block

    chain object for this hard fork and returns it.

    When forks need to implement an irregular state transition, this function

    is used to handle the irregularity.

    The DAO-Fork occurred as a result of the `2016 DAO Hacks

    <https://www.gemini.com/cryptopedia/the-dao-hack-makerdao>`_ in which an

    unknown entity managed to drain more than 3.6 million ether causing the

    price of ether to drop by nearly 35%. This fork was the solution to the

    hacks and manually reset the affected parties' accounts to their state

    prior to the attack. This fork essentially rewrote the history of the

    Ethereum network.

    Parameters

    ----------

    old :

        Previous block chain object.

    Returns

    -------

    new : `BlockChain`

    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 :
