The approach that we will take is similar to the approach that Ethereum plans to take with Casper the Friendly Finality Gadget (Casper FFG)\cite{CasperFFG}. %We will use a block production mechanism and chain selection rule that give eventual consensus and then add a finality gadget, a protocol that finalises blocks that the participants already agree on, to get provable finality.
