Ethereum’s official documentation on consensus mechanisms — the methods by which blockchain nodes agree on the state of the ledger. Covers Proof of Work (PoW), Proof of Stake (PoS), and their trade-offs.
Concepts Mentioned
- DePIN — consensus mechanisms are foundational to DePIN verification challenges
- Tokenomics — staking in PoS is a tokenomics mechanism
Notes
Reference documentation. Useful background for understanding DePIN verification and blockchain fundamentals.
