Proof of Stake as an Alternative Consensus Mechanism
58:26 - 1:04:48 (06:21)
Proof of stake is an alternative to proof of work, where participation is limited to the user's ability to lock in a certain amount of coins in the system, rather than solving mathematical puzzles. This mechanism has been proposed as an alternative for more efficient and eco-friendly blockchain participation.

Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism that limits participation based on how many coins an individual owns and locks into the system.

Summary
Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism that limits participation based on how many coins an individual owns and locks into the system. Instead of solving mathematical puzzles to participate, a user proves access to coins to become a virtual miner.

Sharding allows every participant of the network to download and verify only a small portion of transactions, while Proof of Stake changes how the consensus layer works.

Summary
Sharding allows every participant of the network to download and verify only a small portion of transactions, while Proof of Stake changes how the consensus layer works. Together, they create a system that is efficient, redundant, and secure.
