Proof of Work vs. Proof of Stake: Which Is Better?
:
Blockchain networks like $BTC and $ETH rely on consensus mechanisms to validate transactions. The two most common are Proof of Work (PoW) and Proof of Stake (PoS).
What’s the Difference?
Proof of Work (PoW):
Used by Bitcoin ($BTC).
Miners solve complex puzzles to validate transactions.
Highly secure but energy-intensive.
Proof of Stake (PoS):
Used by Ethereum ($ETH) after its Merge upgrade.
Validators stake coins instead of mining.
Energy-efficient and scalable.
💡 Fun Fact: Ethereum’s switch to PoS reduced its energy consumption by over 99%!
