Solana's consensus mechanism, Proof-of-History (PoH), differs significantly from Ethereum’s Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). PoH allows for faster transaction processing by creating a historical record of events, enabling validators to process transactions quickly without waiting for global consensus. This efficiency allows Solana to achieve much higher throughput compared to Ethereum, which uses a more energy-intensive PoW system and a more complex PoS system post-merge.
