Proof of Stake (PoS) is a consensus mechanism used to perform block production and verification operations in blockchain networks. To ensure the security of the blockchain, PoS requires users to earn their cryptocurrencies or tokens by contributing to the blockchain and verifying confirmed transactions. PoS is considered an environmentally friendly alternative as it is more efficient in terms of energy consumption. This mechanism requires participants in the network to risk their own tokens or cryptocurrencies to achieve consensus, which incentivizes them to ensure the security of the network.
