Beginner

What is Proof-of-Stake (PoS)?

Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism for processing transactions and creating new blocks in a blockchain. In a proof-of-stake blockchain, the staking reward of a validator and the total amount of the staked collateral are often positively related. As each validator attempts to create a block, when a block is selected as a new block, the validator can record the transactions and receive a reward.
