BZLcoin will use a hybrid mechanism, assimilating proof-of-work (PoW) phases and proof-of-stake (PoS) phases. This hybrid nature discourages the development of ASICs and contributes to the decentralization of the project.

Those using the proof-of-stake (PoS) method will use low diculty hashes when creating and/ or processing blocks, so they can claim the aggregate fees in the transaction. In the meantime, those using the proof-of-work (PoW) method will use more dicult hashes and will claim the reward from the block-creation and the transaction fees attached to the memory pool.
