Impact Explanation

1. This proposal involves changes in block structure information. After the proposal is passed, old version clients cannot continue to synchronize new blocks. Therefore all nodes ( validator OR non-validator nodes ) need to be upgraded.
2. The chain ID 100 and 210425 are supported in PlatON’s transaction signature, and transactions without chain ID are also supported. Transactions sent by unlocking wallets hosted in node keystores will use the 210425 signature by default.
