Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin announced the replacement of the consensus layer finality tool from Casper FFG to Minimit, which improves efficiency while reducing fault tolerance, enhances resistance to censorship attacks, and enters a "dual-chain competition" state during uncertainty to increase security.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, March 7th, according to the latest post by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Ethereum plans to replace the finality tool at the consensus layer from Casper FFG to Minimmit. The new mechanism compresses two rounds of confirmation into one, increasing efficiency, but the fault tolerance rate decreases from 33% to 17%. Vitalik stated that this move can effectively enhance resistance to censorship attacks and default to a “double chain competition” state when the network faces uncertainty, giving the community more response time and making the overall security trade-off more reasonable.
