According to Planet Daily, Layer 1 blockchain Zilliqa has initiated a proposal to add SSN to the consensus mechanism to further advance the Zilliqa network's commitment to security and decentralization. A robust hybrid consensus mechanism can enhance security, limit the dominance of large mining pools, and promote greater decentralization throughout the network. The proposal points out that given the recent changes in the Ethereum mining landscape and the expectation that Zilliqa 2.0 will transition to a proof-of-stake (PoS) network, it is critical to ensure that the consensus mechanism is prepared for the future PoS framework while still being able to resist the threat of centralization.
