Proof of work (PoW), another commonly used consensus mechanism, uses a validation of computational prowess to verify transactions, requiring a potential attacker to acquire a large fraction of the computational power of the validator network. [4] This incentivizes consuming huge quantities of energy. PoS is more energy-efficient. [5]
Proof of work (also written as proof-of-work, an abbreviated PoW) is a form of cryptographic proof in which one party (the prover) proves to others (the verifiers) that a certain amount of a specific computational effort has been expended. [1] Verifiers can subsequently confirm this expenditure with minimal effort on their part.
