$EOS EOS’s DPoS (Delegated Proof of Stake) mechanism uses a unique election process to significantly reduce the number of nodes participating in verification and accounting. Specifically, EOS's DPoS mechanism allows EOS token holders to vote to elect a certain number of "super nodes" or "block producers" to serve as bookkeepers. These elected nodes are responsible for validating transactions, packaging blocks, and maintaining the normal operation of the entire network.
In the EOS network, usually only 21 master nodes and a certain number of backup nodes are elected to participate in the consensus process. This design that limits the number of nodes significantly reduces the amount of computation and communication required for verification and consensus, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the entire system.
In addition, the DPoS mechanism also adopts a rotating block mechanism, which means that each selected node has the opportunity to generate new blocks in a predetermined order. This mechanism ensures the security and reliability of the network while avoiding the risk of a single node or a few nodes controlling the network.
In general, EOS's DPoS mechanism effectively reduces the number of nodes participating in verification and accounting through elections and turns of blocks, thereby improving the performance and scalability of the entire system. This design makes EOS a high-performance blockchain platform suitable for commercial and enterprise applications.
