Proof of Stake Utility

Definition

Proof of Stake Utility refers to the various functions and advantages derived from using a Proof of Stake consensus mechanism in a blockchain network. Beyond securing the network, PoS provides capital efficiency through staking, allows for governance participation, and can support a wide range of decentralized applications. Its utility extends to enabling liquid staking derivatives and fostering ecosystem development. This mechanism offers a scalable and energy-efficient alternative to Proof of Work.
