Proof-of-Stake (PoS) has emerged as a sustainable alternative to Proof-of-Work (PoW) in blockchain networks. This article explores how PoS works, its various implementations, and its advantages over traditional consensus mechanisms.

  • PoS replaces energy-heavy mining with staking, reducing power consumption while maintaining network security.
  • Different PoS variants like DPoS, LPoS, and HPoS offer unique governance and delegation models for validators.
  • Ethereum 2.0's Beacon Chain and Tezos' on-chain governance showcase PoS's adaptability in modern blockchain ecosystems.
