[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.k_consensus:02_mechanism:start | Return to Consensus Mechanism ]]

**Proof of Weight (PoW)** is a variant of [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:p:proof_of_stake_pos|Proof-of-Stake]] but adds other factors for the determination of stake. For example, Filecoin considers the amount of IPFS data.  Other factors are Proof-of-Spacetime and Proof-of-Reputation.
