+# Genesis Block Update Instructions
+
+This document outlines the steps to trigger a genesis block update. The following instructions are based on the provided Makefile snippet.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+*   CMake
+*   Make
+
+## Steps
+
+1.  **Generate Premine Wallet (Optional):**
+
+    This step generates a premine wallet. It sets the `GENERATE_PREMINE_WALLET` CMake option to `1` and the `PREMINE_WALLET_PASSWORD` to `12345678`.
+
+    ```bash
+    cmake <cmake_release> <testnet> -DGENERATE_PREMINE_WALLET=1 -DPREMINE_WALLET_PASSWORD=12345678
+    cmake --build ./src --target premine_wallet
+    ```
+
+2.  **Generate Fresh Genesis Block:**
+
+    This step generates a fresh genesis block. It sets the `GENERATE_FRESH_GENESIS` CMake option to `1`.
+
+    ```bash
+    cmake <cmake_release> <testnet> -DGENERATE_FRESH_GENESIS=1
+    cmake --build ./src --target genesis_generator
+    ```
+
+3.  **Build the Project:**
+
+    This step builds the entire project.
+
+    ```bash
+    cmake <cmake_release> <testnet>
+    make
+    ```
+
+## Notes
+
+*   Replace `<cmake_release>` and `<testnet>` with the actual values used in your environment. These are likely variables defined elsewhere in the Makefile.
+*   The `|| true` at the end of the `premine_wallet` build command ensures that the script continues even if the build fails.
+*   This process assumes that the `CMAKE` macro and other variables like `dir_release` are properly defined in the Makefile.
+*   The exact impact of these steps on the genesis block update depends on the codebase. Consult the source code for more details.
