Proof of Stake, PoS
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
The right to keep records is determined by the amount of currency held by participants (stake). The logic is: the more shares one holds, the less likely they are to undermine the system (because they would lose their own stake).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Interest-bound governance. Decision-makers must be stakeholders (skin in the game). If decision-makers have no 'stake' in the matter, their decisions are often irresponsible.
Anchor fast decisions
Blockchain consensus mechanism: validators pledge tokens as collateral, obtain block production rights in proportion to their stake, and are penalized for malicious behavior; energy consumption is much lower than proof of work.
