Ever wondered how blockchains stay secure? It's all about consensus. Proof‑of‑Work (PoW) uses computational puzzles – Bitcoin's engine, but energy‑hungry. Proof‑of‑Stake (PoS) flips the script: validators lock crypto to vote on blocks, cutting power use. Emerging hybrids like PoS‑PoW and DAGs promise speed and safety. Know the trade‑offs, stay ahead.

Airdrops can be a goldmine, but they’re not free lunch. Pick projects with real utility, keep your keys secure, and stay on official channels. Beware of phishing and over‑shared data. If you qualify, you could earn 5‑10x of your stake, but the risk is the same as any high‑volatility token. Verify before you claim. Track the drop schedule on the official site; timing matters.

Blockchain’s energy demand fuels a climate debate, yet the sector is evolving. Proof‑of‑work still dominates, consuming as much electricity as small countries. Shift to proof‑of‑stake, layered roll‑ups, and renewable‑powered mining are closing the gap. Projects like Ethereum 2.0, Chia, and Solana slash energy use, proving sustainability can coexist with decentralization.
