About Proof of Stake (POS)

Proof of Stake (POS) is a consensus mechanism, which takes into account the credit or shares of a participants to determine if they can authenticate transactions and generate blocks. The extent to which they are allowed to contribute and earn rewards, in exchange of securing the network, is determined by the number of tokens they have staked. The staking mechanism is both resource efficient and better in performance. Further, it reduces the circulating supply of a crypto-assets, by incentivizing users to hold it as collateral for securing network, resulting in locking up of available supply and rise in value of existing free tokens.
