| } |
| The logic for selecting the in-turn validator remains unchanged, but the logic for selecting backup validators has been simplified. Particularly when Fast Finality is functioning properly, the sequence of block producers can be roughly viewed as validators being selected in reverse order from the `inturnIndex`. | ||

Backwards Compatibility is to show the impact to ecosystem.
I think validators will be impacted, as the block producer selection mechanism will be changed, it tries to randomize the block producer. Validator collusion can be mitigated, the opportunity to produce block would be faire in long term.
