| - | **Proof of Stake (PoS)** is a way of achieving consensus by distributing validation of a block of transactions based on the number of tokens held rather than by rewarding miners like [[dido:public:glossary:p:proof_of_work]]. Consequently, PoS is a way of validating a block that requires far less energy that Proof of Work (PoW). An important key aspect of PoS is including a degree of chance to the selection process to avoid a scenario where the richest users are always selected to validate transactions and consistently reap the rewards or to bias validation in their favour. | + | |
