Ever wonder how a blockchain decides what’s true? The answer lies in consensus. Proof‑of‑Work powers Bitcoin’s security by making miners solve puzzles, tying value to real work. Proof‑of‑Stake replaces that with ownership stakes, slashing energy but raising centralization concerns. Hybrid models, like Proof‑of‑Authority or Delegated PoS, blend speed, security, and decentralization. As DeFi and GameFi grow, the choice of consensus shapes speed, cost, and trust. Pick wisely.
