The Firo project is looking to follow in Dash's footsteps and improve their tokenomics by spending less on mining and more on value add.

If they can get this through, the impact on price is potentially bullish as the network's electricity costs would be dramatically decreased and become more environmentally friendly too.  Firo is able to afford this change because similar to Dash they employ ChainLocks which reduces the reliance on Miners for their network security.
