A blockchain project is criticized for its high energy consumption and environmental impact. The project team decides to switch to a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism. This transition is from ____________ to ____________.
- Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) to Proof of Authority (PoA)
- Proof of Authority (PoA) to Proof of Work (PoW)
- Proof of Stake (PoS) to Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)
- Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS)
The transition from Proof of Work (PoW) to Proof of Stake (PoS) is a move towards a more energy-efficient consensus mechanism. PoW, which requires significant computational power, is known for its high energy consumption. PoS, on the other hand, relies on validators who hold and "stake" coins, reducing the environmental impact. Understanding different consensus mechanisms is critical for optimizing blockchain sustainability.__________________________________________________
