Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler had some chilling comments for proof of stake cryptocurrency issuers on Thursday. The chairman suggested that a proof of stake (POS) consensus mechanism can bring a given cryptocurrency closer to security status.

The chairman reportedly shared his thoughts on POS cryptocurrencies with reporters after a congressional hearing. They would also coincide with the day…

After months of anticipation, September 15, 2022 finally saw the merger of the Ethereum mainnet execution layer and the Beacon Chain’s consensus layer. The Merge finally ushers in the days of Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus mechanism. This renders defunct the proof-of-work (PoW) consensus for the Ethereum network. In his celebratory and congratulatory tweet, Ethereum’s co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, said the Merge “is a big moment for the Ethereum ecosystem.” And the NFT community did not hesitate to prove this fact. https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1570306185391378434?s=20&t=Lqq0NpxNi6-KQDE65m5zMA…

Why Ethereum is Moving from PoW to PoS The energy-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) model Ethereum blockchain uses has…

When the world first learned about cryptocurrencies, we discovered the Proof-of-Work (PoW) protocol. Over time, superior technologies have introduced greater efficiency in this area. An example of such growth comes from the increased use of the Proof-of-Stake (PoS) protocol. The evolution of this system leads to the birth of more eco-friendly cryptocurrencies with faster transactions. Those who have dared to explore ways other than PoW have launched a new trend in the sector. Today many blockchains are trying to put…
