 ===== Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) =====

-**Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is an alternative consensus algorithm to the [[dido:public:glossary:p:proof_of_work]]  or [[dido:public:glossary:p:proof_of_stake_pos]] algorithms. DPoS is a system in which a fixed number of elected entities (called [[dido:public:glossary:b:block_producers]] or witnesses) are [[dido:public:glossary:b:block_validators]] selected to create blocks in a round-robin order. Block Producers are voted into power by the users of the Node Network, that each get a number of votes proportional to the number of tokens they own on the network (their stake).
+**Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is a mechanism where the participants stake their coin and vote for a certain number of delegates such that the more they invest, the more weightage they receive. For example: if user A spends 10 [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:coins|coins]] for a delegate and user B invests 5 coins, A’s vote gets more weightage than that of B.
-Alternatively, voters can choose to delegate their stake to another voter, who will vote in the Block Producer election on their behalf.
+The delegates also get rewarded in the form of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:transaction_fees|transaction fees]] or a certain amount of coins.
-  : **Note:** DPoS is a protocol that sacrifices decentralization for throughput due to the low number of Block Producers.
+Because of this stake-weighted voting mechanism, DPoS is one of the fastest [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:b:blockchain|blockchain]] consensus models and is highly preferred as a digital democracy.[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.k_consensus:09_ref:bhardwaj]]

+**Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS)** is the democratic version of the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:proof_of_stake_pos|Proof of Stake]] [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:consensus_algorithm|consensus algorithm]] since it includes a voting process. Token holders vote in real-time for witnesses and delegates. They then become responsible for validating transactions and keeping their nodes continuously running to maintain the blockchain.
+Witnesses are paid for their role in generating and adding blocks to the blockchain. And, as in any democracy, they need a solid reputation to maintain their popularity across token holders. Delegates, on the other hand, are responsible for maintaining the blockchain.
+As the voting process is continuous, any witness or delegate that has lost credibility can be voted off. That’s because all witnesses and delegates are chosen with the network’s best interest in mind.((
