Vitalik Buterin called the Proof-of-Work algorithm a "temporary phase" for Ethereum

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin responded to user comments about the project's transition to the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) algorithm.

He said that the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus algorithm was only a temporary stage on Ethereum's development path. In this regard, according to Buterin, the transition to PoS is a logical and quite reasonable decision.
