What Is Proof of Stake (PoS)?
Proof of Stake is a popular alternative consensus mechanism to Proof of Work. Instead of needing computing power to validate transactions, validators must stake coins. This fact drastically reduces the energy consumption needed. Proof of Stake can also improve decentralization, security, and scalability.
However, a 51% attack can be relatively easy to achieve with low market cap blockchains. As Proof of Stake is highly versatile, it has a wide range of variations for different blockchains and use cases.
Introduction
Proof of Stake is by far the most popular choice for blockchain networks today. But with so many variations, it can be tricky to understand its core concepts. Nowadays, you're unlikely to see it in its original form. Nevertheless, all kinds of Proof of Stake share the same key core concepts. Understanding these similarities will help you make better choices about the blockchains you use and how they operate.
What does Proof of Stake mean?
The Proof of Stake consensus algorithm was introduced back in 2011 on the Bitcointalk forum. It was proposed as a solution to Proof of Work's problems. While they both share the same goal of reaching blockchain consensus, the process they take is quite different. Rather than need to provide a computationally intensive proof, participants only prove they have staked coins.
How Does Proof of Stake Work?
The Proof Of Stake algorithm uses a pseudo-random election process to select validators from a group of nodes. The system uses a combination of factors, including staking age, an element of randomization, and the node's wealth.
In Proof of Stake systems, blocks are 'forged' rather than mined. However, you still might hear the term 'mined' occasionally used. Most Proof of Stake cryptocurrencies launch with a supply of 'pre-forged' coins to allow nodes to start immediately.
Users participating in the forging process must lock a certain amount of coins into the network as their stake. The stakes' size determines the chances for a node to be selected as the next validator - the bigger the stake, the larger the chances. Unique methods are added into the selection process to favor not just the wealthiest nodes in the network. The two most commonly used methods are Randomized Block Selection and Coin Age Selection.
Randomized Block Selection
In the Randomized Block Selection method, the validators are selected by looking for nodes with a combination of the lowest hash value and the highest stake. Since the sizes of stakes are public, the next forger can usually be predicted by other nodes.
Coin Age Selection
The Coin Age Selection method chooses nodes based on how long their tokens have been staked. Coin age is calculated by multiplying the number of days the coins have been staked by the number of coins staked.
Once a node has forged a block, its coin age is reset to zero, and it must wait a certain period to be able to forge another block - this prevents large stake nodes from dominating the blockchain.
Validating transactions
Each cryptocurrency using a Proof of Stake algorithm has its own set of rules and methods combined for what it thinks is the best possible combination for the network and its users.
When a node gets chosen to forge the next block, it will check if the transactions in the block are valid. It then signs the block and adds it to the blockchain. As a reward, the node receives the transaction fees from the block and, on some blockchains, a coin reward.
If a node wants to stop being a forger, its stake and earned rewards will be released after a certain period, giving the network time to verify that there are no fraudulent blocks added to the blockchain by the node.
Which blockchains use Proof of Stake?
Most blockchains post-Ethereum use Proof of Stake consensus mechanisms. Typically, each one is modified to suit the needs of the network. We'll cover these variations later on in the article. Ethereum itself is currently in the process of moving to Proof of Stake with Ethereum 2.0.
Blockchain networks that use Proof of Stake or a form of it include:
1. BNB Chain
2. BNB Smart Chain
3. Solana
4. Avalanche
5. Polkadot
Advantages of Proof of Stake
Proof of Stake has many clear advantages over Proof of Work. For this reason, new blockchains almost always use Proof of Stake. Its benefits include:
Adaptability
As users' needs and blockchains change, so can Proof of Stake. It's plain to see this with the vast number of adaptations available. The mechanism is versatile and can easily fit most blockchain use cases.
Decentralization
More users are encouraged to run nodes since it's more affordable. This incentive and the randomization process also make the network more decentralized. Although staking pools exist, there is a much higher chance for an individual to forge a block under Proof of Stake successfully. Overall, this reduces the need for staking pools.
Energy efficiency
Proof of Stake is incredibly energy efficient compared to Proof of Work. The cost of participating relies on the economic cost of staking coins rather than the computational cost of solving puzzles. This mechanism leads to a significant reduction in the energy required to run the consensus mechanism.
Scalability
As Proof of Stake doesn't rely on physical machines to generate consensus, it's more scalable. There's no need for huge mining farms or sourcing large energy supplies. Adding more validators to the network is cheaper, simpler, and more accessible.
Security
Staking works as a financial motivator for the validator not to process fraudulent transactions. If the network detects a fraudulent transaction, the validator will lose a part of its stake and its right to participate in the future. So as long as the stake is higher than the reward, the validator would lose more coins than it would gain with fraudulent activity.
To effectively control the network and approve fraudulent transactions, a node would have to own a majority stake in the network, also known as the 51% attack. Depending on the value of a cryptocurrency, it can be almost impossible to gain control of the network, as you would need to acquire 51% of the circulating supply.
Disadvantages of Proof of Stake
Although Proof of Stake has many advantages compared to Proof of Work, it still has some weaknesses:
Forking
With a standard Proof of Stake mechanism, there's no disincentive for mining both sides of a fork. Under Proof of Work, mining both sides will lead to a waste of energy. With Proof of Stake, the cost is much less, meaning that people can "bet" on both sides of a fork.
Accessibility
To begin staking, you'll need a blockchain's native token supply. This requires you to purchase the token via an exchange or other method. Depending on the amount required, you may need a significant investment to begin staking effectively.
With Proof of Work, you can buy cheap mining equipment or even rent it. With this, you can join a pool and start validating and earning quickly.
51% attack
While Proof of Work is also prone to 51% attacks, they can be significantly easier with Proof of Stake. If a token's price crashes or the blockchain has a low market capitalization, it can be theoretically cheap to purchase more than 50% of the tokens and control the network.
Other consensus mechanisms that build on Proof of Stake
Proof of Stake is highly adaptable. Developers can change the exact mechanism to suit a blockchain's specific use cases. Below are some of the most commonly seen
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
Delegated Proof of Stake allows users to stake coins without becoming a validator. In this case, they stake them behind a validator to share in the block rewards. The more delegators stake behind a possible validator, the greater its selection chance. Validators can usually change the amount shared with delegators as an incentive. A validator's reputation is also an important factor for delegators.
Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS)
Nominated Proof of Stake is a consensus model developed by Polkadot. It has many similarities with Delegated Proof of Stake, but one key difference. If a nominator (delegator) stakes behind a malicious validator, they can also lose their stake.
Nominators can choose up to 16 validators to stake behind. The network will then equally distribute their stake behind the chosen validators. Polkadot also uses several approaches in game theory and election theory to determine who will forge a new block.
Proof of Staked Authority (PoSA)
BNB Smart Chain uses Proof of Staked Authority to generate network consensus. This consensus mechanism combines Proof of Authority and Proof of Stake, letting validators take turns to forge blocks. A group of 21 active validators is eligible to take part, selected by the amount of BNB they stake or have delegated behind them. This set is determined daily, and BNB Chain stores the selection.
Conclusion
The way we add blocks of transactions to a network has changed significantly since Bitcoin. We now no longer need to rely on computing power to generate crypto consensus. The Proof of Stake system has many advantages, and history has shown that Proof of Stake works. As time goes on it, it looks like Bitcoin will be only one of a handful of Proof of Work networks left. For now, it seems that Proof of Stake is here to stay.

“Staking không phải chứng khoán?” – Giới crypto đồng loạt gây áp lực lên SEC để làm rõ luật chơi
Một liên minh các công ty crypto hàng đầu, dẫn đầu bởi Crypto Council for Innovation và tổ chức thành viên Proof of Stake Alliance (POSA), vừa chính thức gửi thư công khai đến Ủy ban Chứng khoán Mỹ (SEC), yêu cầu SEC làm rõ rằng hoạt động staking không phải là một hình thức đầu tư chứng khoán.
Tại sao staking lại bị xem là “vùng xám”?
Staking là hoạt động cốt lõi trong các blockchain sử dụng cơ chế Proof of Stake (#PoS ) – người dùng khóa token để xác thực giao dịch và bảo vệ mạng lưới, đổi lại họ nhận phần thưởng staking.
Tuy nhiên, tại Mỹ, SEC từng ra dấu hiệu coi staking là hoạt động đầu tư cần đăng ký, khiến nhiều công ty lo ngại bị truy tố nếu cung cấp dịch vụ staking cho người dùng.
Trong thư gửi SEC Crypto Task Force, các doanh nghiệp gồm Consensys, Kraken, Ava Labs, Galaxy… nhấn mạnh rằng staking là hoạt động kỹ thuật, không mang tính đầu cơ, tương tự như việc khai thác (mining) trên các mạng Proof of Work – vốn đã được SEC xác nhận không thuộc quản lý chứng khoán.
Những gì giới crypto muốn?
Liên minh crypto đề xuất #SEC nên:
Ban hành hướng dẫn rõ ràng dựa trên nguyên tắc (principles-based) – thay vì điều chỉnh theo từng trường hợp, như đã từng làm với stablecoin hay memecoin.
Tạo khuôn khổ chuẩn cho các dịch vụ staking, bao gồm:
Công bố rõ cách phần thưởng được chia,
Người dùng luôn nắm quyền kiểm soát tài sản đã stake,
Thông tin minh bạch và dễ hiểu cho người dùng.
Họ cho rằng việc này không chỉ bảo vệ người dùng, mà còn giúp ngành #staking phát triển đúng hướng, vì đây là nền tảng vận hành của hàng loạt blockchain lớn hiện nay.
Bối cảnh thay đổi – Ánh sáng cuối đường hầm?
Dưới thời cựu Chủ tịch Gary Gensler, SEC từng bị chỉ trích là “điều chỉnh bằng cách trừng phạt”, gây tê liệt các hoạt động hợp pháp của nhiều công ty crypto.
Tuy nhiên, sự thay đổi lãnh đạo sang Paul Atkins, cùng với chính quyền mới tại Nhà Trắng ủng hộ đổi mới công nghệ, đang tạo ra sự dịch chuyển trong quan điểm.
SEC hiện đã từ chối theo đuổi nhiều vụ kiện trước đó và khởi động các buổi đối thoại mở với các bên trong ngành, cho thấy họ sẵn sàng lắng nghe và điều chỉnh luật chơi.
Kết luận:
Staking không chỉ là “cách kiếm phần thưởng”, mà còn là xương sống của cả một hệ sinh thái blockchain phi tập trung.
Nếu SEC chấp nhận cách tiếp cận mới, các quy định rõ ràng và hợp lý có thể mở đường cho hàng triệu người dùng Mỹ tham gia staking một cách an toàn, đồng thời giúp thị trường crypto bước sang giai đoạn ổn định và minh bạch hơn trong dài hạn.
Cảnh báo rủi ro: Thị trường tài sản số luôn tiềm ẩn biến động mạnh và rủi ro cao. Đây không phải là lời khuyên đầu tư. Người dùng cần tự tìm hiểu và cân nhắc kỹ trước khi đưa ra quyết định tài chính.

Ethereum: Путь к Децентрализованному Будущему
#Ethereum , вторая по величине криптовалюта по рыночной капитализации, давно перерос рамки простой альтернативы Bitcoin. Это целая экосистема, платформа для создания децентрализованных приложений (dApps), смарт-контрактов и, конечно же, DeFi (децентрализованных финансов).
Больше, чем просто деньги:
В отличие от $BTC , созданного как цифровая валюта, Ethereum предлагает гораздо больше. Смарт-контракты позволяют автоматизировать выполнение соглашений без посредников, открывая двери для инновационных решений в различных сферах, от финансов и логистики до голосования и управления цепочками поставок.
#defi : Новая эра финансов:
Одним из самых ярких примеров применения Ethereum стала революция DeFi. Платформы кредитования, займов, децентрализованные биржи (DEX) и другие инструменты DeFi переосмысливают традиционные финансовые системы, делая их более прозрачными, доступными и эффективными.
#ethereum2.0 : Масштабируемость и устойчивость:
Переход к Ethereum 2.0, с его механизмом консенсуса Proof-of-Stake (#Pos ), призван решить проблемы масштабируемости и энергопотребления, которые ранее сдерживали рост сети. PoS не только снижает потребление энергии, но и повышает безопасность сети, делая ее более устойчивой к атакам.
Будущее $ETH
Ethereum продолжает развиваться и адаптироваться к изменяющимся потребностям рынка. Инновации в области Layer-2 решений, таких как роллапы, обещают дальнейшее увеличение масштабируемости и снижение транзакционных издержек. Ethereum – это не просто криптовалюта, это платформа для создания децентрализованного будущего.

#Blockchain technology rests on several core principles:
Decentralization: This is arguably the most crucial principle. Instead of relying on a central authority (like a bank or government) to manage and verify transactions, a blockchain distributes this responsibility across a vast network of computers (nodes).
Immutability: Once a transaction is recorded on the blockchain and added to a "block," it's virtually impossible to alter or delete it. Each block is cryptographically linked to the previous one, creating a chain of blocks. Changing one block would require altering all subsequent blocks, which is computationally infeasible due to the network's size and cryptographic security.
Transparency (with Pseudonymity): All transactions are recorded on the public ledger, making the blockchain transparent.
Security through Cryptography: Cryptographic techniques secure the blockchain in several ways:
Hashing: Each block is assigned a unique cryptographic hash – a digital fingerprint. Any change to the block's data alters its hash, instantly revealing tampering attempts.
Digital Signatures: These ensure the authenticity of transactions.
Consensus Mechanisms: These are algorithms that ensure agreement among nodes on the valid state of the blockchain. Popular consensus mechanisms include Proof-of-Work (#POW ) and Proof-of-Stake (#Pos $BTC ).
Distributed Ledger: The blockchain is a shared, distributed ledger replicated across numerous nodes. This redundancy ensures data availability and prevents a single point of failure. If one node fails, the others continue to maintain the blockchain's integrity.
In short #blockchain combines these principles to create a secure, transparent, and decentralized system for recording and verifying transactions, suitable for managing various types of data beyond just cryptocurrencies. It's important to remember that different blockchain implementations may emphasize certain principles more than others.

【每天一个web3概念】快速搞懂POS
POW的缺陷是所有人消耗大量能源，因此被很多人所诟病，而想要实现普信（自造词，普遍信任），也有一些其他的算法可以实现。其中一种就是POS。
POS（Proof of Stake），也叫作权益证明。什么是权益？就是用户在区块链系统中拥有的资产。那什么是权益证明？举个《封神》里的例子就很好理解了。节点把自己的权益质押到链上当成“质子”，成为“验证者”，当要出块的时候，系统会随机选一个验证者打包交易，如果这个验证者是个“叛徒”，并且有恶意行为，那么系统就会没收他的“质子”作为惩罚。
虽然和POW的机制不同，但是原理都是一样的，它们都假定区块链系统中有叛徒，并且叛徒作恶会付出巨大的成本。POW选择让参与者做题，做题需要大量计算资源，如果要控制网络需要极高的成本；而POS则是选择让所有参与者送上人质，如果叛徒作恶，那么就杀他的人质。
在很多PoS系统中，一个参与者成为验证者的机会与其所持有的“权益”成正比。这意味着抵押更多的资产的验证者有更高的机会被选为下一个区块的创建者。同时，验证者会因为他们的验证工作而获得奖励，可能是新发行的货币或网络交易费用。
最后，在一些POS机制里，权益不只是代币，还有持币的时间、声誉、积分等等都可以算作权益，因此广义上讲，POS不一定要质押代币。

Ouroboros: Экологичный и безопасный консенсус Cardano! 🐍♻️
В основе Cardano лежит уникальный и научно-доказанный механизм консенсуса Ouroboros. Это первый протокол Proof-of-Stake (PoS), который был формально проверен на безопасность.
Как работает: Вместо энергозатратного "майнинга", как в Proof-of-Work, Ouroboros выбирает держателей ADA (стейкеров) для проверки транзакций и создания новых блоков на основе количества ADA, которое они "стейкают" (блокируют) в сети.
Слоты и Эпохи: Время в блокчейне Cardano делится на "слоты" (секунды) и "эпохи" (5 дней). В каждом слоте случайным образом выбирается "лидер слота", который имеет право создать блок.
Безопасность: Протокол Ouroboros разработан для обеспечения такой же или даже более высокой безопасности, чем Proof-of-Work, но при этом с гораздо меньшим потреблением энергии.
Экологичность: Благодаря PoS, Cardano значительно более энергоэффективен, чем PoW-блокчейны, что делает его привлекательным для экологически ориентированных проектов.
Ouroboros — это одна из ключевых инноваций Cardano, обеспечивающая его масштабируемость, безопасность и устойчивость.

The Environmental Debate around Crypto Gaming
Whenever I hear people criticize crypto gaming, the environmental argument always resurfaces. It’s a topic that has shaped public perception for years, often overshadowing the real innovation happening in Web3. But as someone deeply involved with @Yield Guild Games and the broader blockchain gaming ecosystem, I’ve seen firsthand how much this conversation has evolved. The environmental debate today is no longer a simple blockchain bad, gaming good narrative. It’s far more nuanced, and frankly, far more optimistic than most people realize.
To be honest early blockchain systems weren’t perfect. Proof-of-Work chains consumed significant energy, and critics quickly tied that narrative to all of crypto, including gaming. Even though most Web3 games were never running on energy-intensive networks, the industry ended up carrying the weight of that perception. But the shift toward sustainability has been dramatic. Today, the majority of Web3 gaming ecosystems, including those supported by YGG, rely on Proof-of-Stake chains, #sidechains , and Layer-2 solutions that use a fraction of the energy traditional systems once did.
What many people don’t realize is that modern PoS chains often consume less energy than popular Web2 platforms. The carbon footprint of a transaction on chains like Polygon, #solana , or certain L2s is often lower than sending an email or watching a short video clip. That’s how far the technology has progressed. And this is the landscape where crypto gaming now operates. The narrative of blockchain harms the environment begins to fall apart when you look at how sustainable the infrastructure has become.
I think from a YGG perspective, this matters deeply because our communities are global and socially aware. Players and scholars want to participate in ecosystems that are not only fun and rewarding, but also responsible. YGG’s network of partners has increasingly shifted toward chains that emphasize sustainability. Many of the games we support have migrated to more energy-efficient networks or were built on them from the start. Developers now choose #Pos ecosystems not only because they are cheaper and faster, but because they align with modern environmental expectations.
Another thing that often gets overlooked is how decentralized infrastructure can actually reduce environmental strain compared to traditional gaming. Think about massive centralized servers required for Web2 games. These servers must run 24/7, often at a global scale, and require huge cooling systems, maintenance, and operational overhead. Blockchain networks distribute that load across nodes, many of which already exist for other purposes. Instead of relying on massive data centers owned by a single corporation, decentralized gaming takes advantage of shared infrastructure with a much smaller incremental footprint.
Then there’s renewable energy. PoS validators and node operators are increasingly choosing to operate on renewable power. Not because it’s mandated, but because it lowers costs and aligns with community values. Sustainability is becoming a competitive advantage. Entire ecosystems now celebrate carbon-neutral operations. Some even go the extra mile with carbon offsets or partnerships with environmental organizations.
The environmental criticisms were never entirely baseless, but they are now outdated. The conversation must evolve with the technology and the reality is that Web3 gaming is moving toward sustainability at a pace that few industries can match. YGG’s involvement, support, and partnerships play a key role in that shift because guilds amplify sustainable ecosystems through community adoption. When guilds choose to back games on efficient networks, players follow, developers notice, and the entire market begins to align with greener standards.
Another aspect I think about is how Web3 gaming empowers players in emerging markets regions where mobile devices dominate and energy consumption per user is already low. For many of these players, Web3 gaming provides opportunities that didn’t exist before. To criticize the environmental impact without acknowledging the socioeconomic benefits creates an incomplete picture. YGG’s mission has always been about access, empowerment, and opportunity. When sustainable chains intersect with these goals, the results can be life-changing.
The future is where the real promise lies. As technology continues to evolve, zero-knowledge proofs, #rollups , modular blockchains, and next-generation L1s will further reduce resource usage. We are moving toward a world where blockchain gaming transactions may become effectively carbon-neutral by default. YGG will continue supporting ecosystems that lead this movement, ensuring our scholars and players participate in gaming worlds that align with modern environmental standards.
The environmental debate is not going away but it’s no longer a barrier. It’s becoming a catalyst for innovation. Web3 gaming has transformed dramatically in just a few years, and the sustainability narrative is shifting just as fast. When I talk about this topic today, I’m not defensive I’m optimistic. Because I’ve watched the space evolve. I’ve seen guilds like YGG push for better technology and more responsible ecosystems. And I genuinely believe that the future of blockchain gaming will not only be more sustainable than its past it may even become one of the greenest sectors in digital entertainment.
The environmental debate around crypto gaming is not a crisis anymore. It’s a turning point. YGG is helping guide that transition toward a cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable Web3 gaming future.
