!!! note IBFT 2.0 is under development and will be available in v1.0.

The genesis file specifies the consensus protocol for a chain config:

     "ethash": {
    
   } 
  },
  ...  
}

{
  "config": {
    ....
    "clique": {
      ... 
   }
  },
  ...
}

{
  "config": {
    ....
    "ibft2": {
      ...     
   }
  },
  ...
}
