Proof of Stake (PoS)

Modified on Wed, 9 Aug, 2023 at 10:58 AM

Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus algorithm used by some blockchain networks to validate transactions and create new blocks. In PoS, validators are chosen to create new blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they hold and are willing to "stake" as collateral. This eliminates the need for energy-intensive mining required by proof of work (PoW) and provides a more energy-efficient alternative.
