## Introduction

This is the modification of the fork choice according to EIP-6914.

## Fork choice

A new handler is added with this upgrade:

- `on_reused_index(store, index)` whenever a validator index `index: ValidatorIndex` is reused

This new handler is used to update the list of equivocating indices to be synchronized with the canonical chain.

### Handlers

#### `on_reused_index`

```python
def on_reused_index(store: Store, index: ValidatorIndex) -> None:
    store.equivocating_indices.discard(index)
```
