	///
	/// When using a signed extension that provides additional data for signing, it is required
	/// that the signing and the verifying side use the same additional data. Additional
	/// data will only be used to generate the signature, but will not be part of the transaction

	///
	/// For `FRAME`-based runtimes this would be caused by `current block number
