description: 'The node management tool for the Exonum framework. It provides the standard command set a
  service binary inherits for generating node configuration, finalizing a validator set, and running the
  node; it also bundles the explorer service and system API plugin by default, so a node started with it
  exposes the explorer REST/WebSocket API and the system API with no extra setup.'
