Ever wonder how blockchains stay honest? At the heart lies the consensus mechanism. Proof‑of‑Work (PoW) fights fraud with computational puzzles—Bitcoin’s flagship. Proof‑of‑Stake (PoS) replaces energy with value, letting holders validate blocks proportionally to their stake—Ethereum’s future. Emerging hybrids, like PoS‑PoW or sharding, aim to combine security, speed, and sustainability. Stay curious, stay crypto.
