Developers of Ethereum (ETH), the largest altcoin by market capitalization, have published Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) #1011 on Friday, April 20, to create a hybrid system of consensus that seeks to push the network away from issues associated with crypto mining.
The proposal consists of specifications for implementing the Hybrid Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (FFG) network update, which will combine Proof-of-Work (PoW) with Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus, with the goal of eventually transitioning to PoS.
