Proof of Stake is a consensus mechanism where validators are chosen to create new blocks based on the amount of cryptocurrency they have staked as collateral. It is significantly more energy-efficient than Proof of Work and is used by Ethereum, Cardano, Solana, and many other modern blockchains. Validators risk losing their stake if they act maliciously, which incentivizes honest behavior.
