// SampleService is a trivial network service that can be attached to a node for
// life cycle management.

//  - Protocols() []p2p.Protocol - devp2p protocols the service can communicate on
//  - APIs() []rpc.API           - api methods the service wants to expose on rpc channels
//  - Start() error              - method invoked when the node is ready to start the service
//  - Stop() error               - method invoked when the node terminates the service
