Energy efficient consensus refers to blockchain protocols designed to minimize electricity consumption during transaction validation and block creation. These protocols achieve network agreement with significantly less power than traditional proof-of-work systems. They aim to reduce the environmental footprint of digital assets. Examples include proof-of-stake mechanisms.
Context
Energy efficient consensus is a central topic in discussions about blockchain sustainability and environmental impact, frequently appearing in crypto news. The transition of major networks to these protocols is closely watched, influencing public perception and regulatory scrutiny. Ongoing research focuses on developing even more sustainable and secure methods for decentralized agreement.
