Proof of Stake (PoS)
A blockchain consensus system where validators lock up coins to secure the network and earn rewards.
Proof of Stake (PoS) is a way blockchains stay secure
and agree on which transactions are valid —
without using massive amounts of electricity.
Instead of mining, users lock up (stake) their coins
to become validators who confirm transactions.
In return, they earn staking rewards.
Why it matters
- It’s energy-efficient compared to Proof of Work
- Makes blockchains faster and cheaper to run
- Lets holders earn passive income through staking
Blockchains like Ethereum, Cardano, and Solana
use PoS or similar versions to keep their networks decentralized.
💡 Lanzo Tip
Always stake through trusted validators or official wallets.
Avoid unknown staking platforms — your rewards aren’t worth the risk 🪙
