Staking
Staking is a process in the cryptocurrency world where users lock up their coins to support the operations of a blockchain network, typically a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or one…
Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
Validator
A cryptocurrency validator is a network participant responsible for verifying transactions and maintaining the blockchain’s integrity. Validators are crucial in consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and its variants (e.g., Delegated…
Proof of Liquidity (PoL)
Proof of Liquidity (PoL) is a consensus mechanism or cryptographic verification method designed to ensure that a blockchain network or decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol has sufficient…
Proof of Authority (PoA)
Proof of Authority (PoA) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks where validators are identified and approved by a central authority, rather than being selected…
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks to achieve fast, efficient, and scalable transaction validation while maintaining decentralization. It is…
Proof of History (PoH)
Proof of History (PoH) is a cryptographic consensus mechanism developed by Solana Labs to enhance blockchain scalability and efficiency. Unlike traditional consensus mechanisms like Proof of…
Proof-of-Stake (PoS)
Proof-of-Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used in blockchain networks to validate transactions and secure the network. Unlike Proof-of-Work (PoW), which relies on computational power (mining), PoS…
