Validator Rotation Logic

Validator rotation logic refers to the algorithm used to select which validator will propose the next block in a sequence. To prevent centralization and ensure fairness, the protocol must rotate these responsibilities among all active participants.

This is typically done using a combination of randomness and stake weight. By ensuring that the selection process is unpredictable, the protocol protects itself against targeted attacks on specific validators.

The rotation logic also handles the onboarding of new validators and the removal of those who have been slashed or have withdrawn their stake. It is a critical component for maintaining a healthy and decentralized network.

An effective rotation algorithm ensures that no single validator can dominate the chain, promoting long-term network stability.
