Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution
The energy consumption of Blockchain
Recently, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, posted on Twitter saying that: Bitcoin can consume too much in mining and transaction process, such excessive fossil fuel consumption will result in negative impacts on the ecosystem. The Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also noticed the high power consumption problem in Blockchain technology. He presented that Ethereum would change its consensus mechanism from PoW to PoS to reduce the power consumption caused by the mining process in PoW-based technologies like the Bitcoin. From a global view, energy consumption issues are concerned by an increasing number of countries. To urge the efficient power usage, many countries and organizations have set up environmental protection plans, such as the UN’s SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) and the US carbon neutrality, etc.
In this context, the future development of a technology need to consider the sustainable development and environmental friendliness as one of the important metrics and goals. As an emerging technology for privacy protection, Blockchain presents excellent protection capabilities. However, such capabilities rely on the large-scale computing resources and result in a large amount of power consumption. Part of the reasons for such high power consumption are due to the PoW (Proof of Work) consensus mechanism which has high demands on the performance of the Blockchain nodes.
Besides energy consumption, other concerns of the consensus mechanism
The technology of the base layer of the Blockchain has the advantages like anonymous, Immutable, decentralized and so on. To achieve these advantages, Blockchain enhances the privacy and protect the transaction process by increasing the cost of network participation. The core concept of the early-stage PoW consensus mechanism is based on the workload cost. The credibility need to be proved by the cost of a lot of work. In this case, the machines that maintain the ledgers (also referred to as mining nodes) need to continually crack complex math puzzles to obtain Bitcoin as rewards. This computing process not only needs to rely on a large amount of computing resources, but also sacrifices part of the scalability on the Blockchain to ensure safety. When it comes to the boosting growing of transaction volume, this mechanism will not be able to meet high-speed and large-scale processing demands. Based on such limitations of PoW, PoS (Proof of stake) is gaining more and more attention to work as a consensus mechanism with low resource consumption and guaranteed decentralization, safety and scalability.
In a PoS-based Blockchain system, nodes do not have to consume much power to compete for accounting rights. The priority of accounting rights is measured by the amount of stake holdings. In this way, the nodes no longer consume a large amount of electricity to calculate the hash functions, thereby solving the high energy consumption issues in PoW mechanism. In spite of the improved efficiency in PoS, the safety of the mechanism is affected. Therefore, in order to ensure the reliable operation of PoS, the researchers need to develop reliable algorithms from the trade-off among the decentralization, safety and scalability.
Unique advantages of PlatON PoS
With the issues caused by the PoW mechanism has been widely criticized, more and more Blockchain technologies inclined to choose or transit to the PoS-based consensus mechanisms. This results in a boosting growing of the PoS-based Blockchain frameworks in recent years. As the world leader in computing privacy area, PlatON has rooted and researched in privacy computing technologies many years. PlatON’s research and practice in consensus mechanisms are also forward-looking. The PPoS (PlatON PoS) consensus mechanism uses off-chain identity, credit mechanisms and procedural arrangements to provide a scheme to select a number of verification nodes from many participating nodes as fair and randomly as possible. Hence, PPoS can effectively inhibit bribery, collusion, etc., and reduce the consensus cost and improve the system scalability by optimizing technical details. Meanwhile, ensuring the decentralization and scalability, PlatON further enhances the system safety by combining the experiences in computing privacy area. The Alaya network based on PlatON PoS has been operating stably and efficiently for a long time, successfully solving the problem of over-centralization of the system, reducing network communication complexity and message complexity, improving consensus efficiency and the entire Blockchain transaction processing performance. In this case, the safety and liveness of the technology are verified. PlatON has been able to improve its PoS mechanism through its attention to every detail, continuous attempts, active exploration of cutting-edge areas, and forward-looking plans in the future development. Next step, PlatON will continue actively promoting the efficient network operation with high-quality code, providing efficient, high-availability, distributed and sustainable infrastructure applicable for diverse industrial and commercial use cases, and supporting the exchange of data flows in the global world.

XTJ CNC Targets Semiconductor Manufacturers With Precision CNC Machining
Carmel, IN 46032, United States, 12th Nov 2026 – XTJ CNC, a long-standing CNC machining manufacturer, has announced that it is directing its precision machining services to semiconductor equipment manufacturers. The service covers components for chip fabrication equipment and tooling, from prototypes to production volumes. Parts can be delivered in three to five days, the company said.

XTJ CNC also provides CNC machined parts (link pending) for other industries, and the semiconductor service draws on the same machine shop. The company said the work is carried out on CNC machines fitted with air-bearing spindles and diamond-tipped cutting tools. These are used where flatness and surface quality matter more than they do in general machining.
What Is New for Chip Equipment Makers
Semiconductor fabs make microchips on wafers, and the equipment that handles those wafers needs close control of dimensions and cleanliness. XTJ CNC has organised its offer around three groups of parts. Wafer processing components include wafer chucks and carriers, with flat surfaces and precisely drilled holes for holding wafers during processing.
The second group covers test sockets and heat sinks, which serve testing and heat management. The third is carriers and molds for lithography and polishing equipment.

“Semiconductor equipment makers send drawings where flatness, cleanliness and material handling all matter at once,” said Hafiz Pan, Director of Operations at XTJ CNC. “Directing the service to this sector means those buyers can bring all three requirements to one machine shop, from a first prototype through to production volumes.”
What It Means for Buyers
The service is built around the materials the sector works with. XTJ CNC machines silicon, silicon carbide and gallium arsenide, and each places different demands on the machine shop. Silicon is the most common base material for semiconductor devices. Gallium arsenide is used in high-frequency applications and is brittle, so it needs careful handling. Silicon carbide is used in high-power applications and demands advanced machining techniques.
Cleanliness is part of the offer alongside the cutting itself. XTJ CNC states that semiconductor parts are produced in ISO-classified cleanrooms to limit contamination, and that HEPA filtration is used during machining. Brittle crystalline materials can chip under cutting force, and fine particles can settle on a finished surface. Handling and cleaning steps therefore form part of the process, alongside the machining.

For a buyer, this means one supplier covers the cutting, the handling and the cleanliness controls for parts that go into fab equipment. The air-bearing spindles and diamond-tipped tools support the flatness and surface quality that the work calls for, while the cleanroom and filtration steps address contamination.
How the Service Works in Practice
The delivery window covers prototype work and production runs alike. A buyer developing new fab equipment and a buyer ordering production quantities of tooling components can therefore use the same service. According to the company, its quality control includes inspections at every stage of the work. Buyers that need measurement data would confirm those details when they request a quote.
Quote requests are answered within 24 hours, according to XTJ CNC. Semiconductor customers often specify material, flatness and finish on the drawing, and these are the points an engineering review would normally confirm first. For a project of this kind, agreeing those points early gives both sides a clear basis before production is scheduled.
Looking Ahead
XTJ CNC expects requests from the semiconductor sector to differ by material, part type and quantity. It plans to review each drawing on its own terms before production is scheduled, so that a small prototype order and a larger production order receive the same attention.
“Requests from this sector will vary a great deal, so each drawing will be reviewed before any material is cut,” said Pan. “The aim is to keep the inspection and cleanliness steps the same whatever the order size.”
About XTJ CNC
XTJ CNC, founded in 2005 and now employs more than 300 engineers, technicians and quality inspectors. The company provides precision CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication for customers in a range of industries.

At Forex Expo Dubai, Tommaso Caratelli Urges Traders to Choose Sustainability Over Easy Promises
Speaking at Forex Expo Dubai 2026, the world’s most-attended forex event, Italian entrepreneur and investor Tommaso Caratelli called on the trading industry to choose sustainability over easy promises. In a market trading $9.6 trillion a day, he argued, traders do not lack opportunity. They lack discipline, risk management and transparent automation. He presented Ascendra AI, a risk-first automated trading system that excludes martingale and grid strategies and publishes its live results on Myfxbook.
Italy, 12th Nov 2026 – Tommaso Caratelli, Italian founder, investor and speaker, took the stage at Forex Expo Dubai 2026 with a message aimed at both traders and the wider industry: online trading can only regain credibility if automation is built around risk management rather than around the appearance of profit.

Held on 22–23 September at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the ninth edition of Forex Expo Dubai broke its own Guinness World Records title for the largest attendance at a forex event, with 23,816 attendees, 270 exhibitors and 150 speakers across five stages. It was Caratelli’s second appearance at the event, following his talk earlier this year at Money Expo Colombia in Bogota.
A booming market, uneven outcomes
Caratelli opened by setting out the scale of the industry. According to the Bank for International Settlements’ 2025 Triennial Survey, global foreign exchange turnover averaged $9.6 trillion per day in April 2025, up 28% from 2022. Leading retail brokers also reported record figures for 2025: Plus500 posted $6.5 billion in total customer deposits, XTB surpassed 1.19 million active clients, and Interactive Brokers reached nearly $780 billion in client equity.
“Looking at all these ambitious people, I asked myself a simple question: if the opportunities are so massive, why isn’t everyone a millionaire?” said Caratelli. “Because the market alone doesn’t determine success. The person behind the decisions does: their skills, their beliefs, their clarity of purpose, and their ability to adapt when things get difficult. Most people don’t fail because they lack opportunities. They fail because they keep being the same person while expecting different results.”
“I left one boss and found a far more demanding one”
Caratelli drew on his own experience. Years ago he left a managerial role at a multinational company to pursue the freedom that trading is often said to offer.
“I had left one boss only to find a much more demanding one: the market,” he said. “Hours in front of charts, checking positions during dinner, waking up at night to see what gold was doing, holidays that weren’t holidays. I wasn’t free. I was on call 24 hours a day.”
The problem is not automation, but hidden risk
According to Caratelli, many traders who fail to find that freedom turn to Expert Advisors (automated trading programs), often with disappointing results. Many systems available online only work on the historical data they were optimised for, rely on high-risk techniques such as martingale or unprotected grid strategies, or display smooth equity curves for months while concealing risk that surfaces all at once.
“These systems are built to look infallible, not to be infallible,” he said. “The loss doesn’t disappear; it is simply postponed until the market presents the bill. The problem isn’t automation. It’s automating risk to sell a feeling of profit. If a system forces you to check it every hour because it might blow up, it hasn’t freed you. It has only changed the kind of anxiety you have.”
Ascendra AI: a risk-first approach
As an example of an alternative approach, Caratelli presented Ascendra AI, an automated trading system developed over several years with a team of developers. It is designed to operate over the medium to long term with controlled risk rather than to maximise short-term returns:
- each trade is a single position with predefined stop loss and take profit, targeting a 1:4 risk-to-reward ratio;
- risk per trade is set in advance, and position sizing adjusts dynamically to account equity;
- trailing stop and break-even mechanisms are built in to protect accrued gains;
- martingale and grid strategies are excluded by design.
The system identifies key price levels and places pending orders; if market conditions are not met, the order is cancelled and the analysis restarts. Live-account results are published on the independent tracking platform Myfxbook.
A call to the industry
“Trading can only become credible again if the industry chooses sustainability over easy promises,” Caratelli said. “Automation built with rigour, transparency and serious risk management is one of the most concrete ways to get there. For traders, it means discipline and the chance to take back their time. For the industry, it means rebuilding the trust of everyone who has been let down so far.”
He closed his talk with the idea that ran through it: “Real freedom isn’t having no boss. It’s having a system that doesn’t ask you to sacrifice your life in order to work. No matter how big the market becomes, your next level requires a new version of you.”
About Tommaso Caratelli
Tommaso Caratelli is an Italian entrepreneur, investor and international speaker. After a managerial career at a multinational company, he moved into the financial markets, where he focuses on algorithmic trading, risk management and financial innovation. In 2026 he spoke at Forex Expo Dubai, Money Expo Colombia and FX.world in Rome, advocating for sustainable, transparent automation in retail trading.

Cloom Tech Advances JST Cable Assembly Manufacturing for OEM Buyers
Medley, FL 33178, United States, 12th Nov 2026 – Cloom Tech, a leading manufacturer of custom cable assemblies and wire harnesses, has announced that it is advancing its JST cable assembly manufacturing for OEM buyers. According to the company, customers can choose to have these assemblies produced at its factory in Hebei, China, or at its factory in Cavite, the Philippines. Orders start from a drawing or specification sheet submitted with a quote request.

The assemblies are built around JST connector series, and the work covers wire preparation, terminal crimping, connector assembly and the integration of finished assemblies into cable or wire harness builds. The company said it works with electrical, electronic and automotive wire specifications.
What Is New for OEM Buyers
JST connectors are small board and wire connectors that appear in many compact electronic products. Each assembly is usually specified by series, pin count and wire type, and Cloom Tech builds them into a broad range of cable types, from coaxial and flat cable to waterproof and extension cable.
The company states that samples can be confirmed with the customer before full production begins. Flexible minimum order quantities apply depending on complexity, and prototype quantities can start from as few as 50 pieces, according to the company.

“JST assemblies are small, but the series, the pin count and the wire all have to match the drawing exactly,” said Ivy Zhao, spokesperson for Cloom Tech. “A sample confirmation before production gives the customer a chance to check that match. For an OEM buyer, that means an assembly can be approved on a real sample before the full order is built, and that is why we are putting this process forward.”
How Assemblies Are Made and Tested
Wire is prepared on automated stripping and cutting machines, the company said. Preparation services include insulation removal to specified lengths, end twisting and tinning. Terminals are then crimped on automatic double end crimping machines, with semi-automatic equipment used alongside them.
Testing is carried out against a documented routine. Cloom Tech lists labeling verification, broken wire detection, insulation resistance, connector insertion and extraction force and verification of full electrical function among its checks. Environmental testing, covering temperature cycling, humidity exposure and vibration, is available on request. The company states that test data is documented and provided with delivery.
Inspection is carried out by engineers from departments separate from harness production, the company says. The people who build an assembly are therefore not the people who sign it off, which gives buyers an independent check on each order.
Ordering and Applications
Cloom Tech states that it returns quotes within 12 hours of receiving a drawing or specification. Customer support includes progress reporting and coordination of packaging and delivery, with contact available by phone and email. For a buyer comparing suppliers, the quoting window and the progress reporting set out what to expect between sending a drawing and receiving finished assemblies.

The company identifies several fields in which JST assemblies are used. In industrial automation they connect sensor networks and control systems, and in consumer electronics they carry internal power and display connections. Robotics applications include sensor feedback and motor control, while power and energy uses include battery management and electrical distribution.
Looking Ahead
Cloom Tech said it expects JST assemblies to remain part of its OEM work. It plans to keep the same sample confirmation and test documentation steps on each order, whatever the size of the batch.
“Buyers send drawings with different pin counts and different wire sizes, so the steps stay the same for each one,” said Ivy Zhao, spokesperson for Cloom Tech. “That means the same checks and the same test records whatever the quantity, and it is how we expect to keep OEM buyers confident as their projects change.”
About Cloom Tech
Cloom Tech makes custom wire harnesses and cable assemblies for industries that include automotive, electronics, medical devices and agricultural equipment. The company covers prototyping, production, assembly, testing and delivery.
