Ethereum developers are considering a transition from the current Casper FFG finality gadget to Minimmit, which offers a streamlined one-round finality process. While Casper FFG requires two rounds for block justification and finalization, Minimmit simplifies this to a single round, albeit with a reduced fault tolerance of 17% compared to Casper FFG's 33%.
The proposed change aims to enhance Ethereum's resilience against censorship attacks, which are deemed more critical than finality reversion. Minimmit's design allows for a healthier network response to potential attacks, as it requires a higher threshold of 83% for an attacker to unilaterally finalize blocks, compared to 67% in the current system. This shift is expected to improve the network's ability to handle periods of uncertainty, such as software bugs or attacks, by allowing non-finalizing chains to duel, providing time for corrective measures.
