Proof of stake (PoS) is a method by which a cryptocurrency blockchain network achieves distributed consensus. In a PoS system, cryptocurrency owners stake their coins by holding them in a wallet and thus committing them to the network. The stake weight of a node is proportional to the amount of cryptocurrency it is staking, and the probability of a node being chosen to validate a block is proportional to its stake weight. PoS is an...
