Behind High Energy Consumption of Blockchain: PoS Consensus Mechanism To Be A Solution

Published

on

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.

Charles Howenstine DDS on Arresting Gum Inflammation Before It Leads to Surgery

Published

on

Michigan, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Many patients first notice gum disease in small, easy‑to‑ignore ways. A little bleeding while brushing. Tenderness that comes and goes. Mild swelling that does not hurt enough to feel urgent. Charles Howenstine DDS often explains that these early signs matter more than people realize, because they usually reflect inflammation, not permanent damage.

Gum disease does not begin with bone loss. It starts with bacteria collecting along the gumline and triggering an inflammatory response. In the early stages, the bone and connective tissue that support the teeth remain intact. The disease is present, but it has not crossed the point where damage becomes irreversible.

This window matters. When inflammation is identified early and addressed consistently, the disease process often stops. Dentists describe this as arrested gum disease. Progression halts. Tissue stabilizes. Surgery stays off the table.

Charles Howenstine DDS emphasizes that arresting gum inflammation is not complicated, but it does require follow through. Daily brushing and flossing reduce bacterial buildup. Professional cleanings remove hardened deposits that home care cannot reach. When the bacterial load drops, the gums respond. Bleeding decreases. Swelling subsides. The tissue becomes firmer and healthier.

What surprises many patients is how much control they have at this stage. Gum inflammation does not progress on its own. It progresses when the conditions that caused it stay in place. When those conditions change, the disease slows or stops.

Consistency is the deciding factor. One cleaning does not arrest gum disease permanently. Improvement depends on maintaining habits over time. Arrested inflammation means the disease is under control, not cured. Without routine care, inflammation returns.

Surgery enters the conversation only when disease advances far enough to affect bone. At that point, treatment shifts from prevention to repair. Charles Howenstine DDS works to keep patients well clear of that threshold by identifying inflammation early and responding before damage escalates.

There is also a persistent misconception that gum disease is inevitable with age. Charles Howenstine DDS pushes back on this idea. Age does not determine outcome. Daily habits, professional maintenance, and follow through do. Many patients maintain stable gum health for decades when inflammation is addressed early and kept arrested.

Monitoring plays a central role. Arrested gum disease requires regular evaluation. Dentists assess tissue response, bleeding patterns, and pocket measurements over time. Stability confirms success. Changes signal renewed activity and prompt early correction.

Clear communication supports long‑term results. Patients are more likely to maintain habits when they understand what is happening and why it matters. When people see how small actions affect inflammation, care becomes intentional rather than reactive.

Arresting gum disease reflects partnership. Dentists provide diagnosis, guidance, and professional care. Patients bring consistency at home. Together, they prevent progression and protect the structures that keep teeth stable.

About Charles Howenstine DDS

Charles Howenstine DDS is a dentist and practice owner in Stevensville, Michigan. His clinical focus includes prevention, early intervention, and maintaining arrested gum conditions through clear communication, routine care, and disciplined follow through.

McLaren Charlotte Launches a Personal Pledge for Informed Performance Culture

Published

on

California, US, 20th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, McLaren Charlotte has announced the launch of a personal pledge aimed at raising awareness around the importance of informed performance culture, as interest in high-performance vehicles continues to rise while understanding of the systems behind them lags.

The pledge reflects McLaren Charlotte’s long-standing belief that performance is not defined by speed alone, but by structure, consistency, and respect for engineering and process.

“We’ve always believed that how you build matters as much as what you build,” the team shared.
“You can’t lead customers if you don’t understand the machine,” they added.
“Our job doesn’t end when the keys are handed over. That’s actually when the relationship starts.”
“In this industry, consistency is the real differentiator.”

These principles form the foundation of the new pledge.

Why This Issue Matters Right Now

As performance vehicles and advanced systems become more accessible, the need for understanding has grown more urgent.

  • 70% of luxury vehicle buyers now complete most of their research before first contact, increasing the risk of misinformation and surface-level knowledge.

  • Over 60% of premium automotive customers say education and clarity matter more than incentives, according to industry surveys.

  • Modern high-performance vehicles rely on increasingly complex systems adapted from motorsport.

  • Research from Harvard Business Review shows that process-driven organisations reduce repeat errors by over 30%.

“Performance doesn’t happen by accident,” McLaren Charlotte notes. “Whether it’s a car or a business, results come from systems working together.”

The McLaren Charlotte Personal Pledge

McLaren Charlotte is committing to the following seven behaviours as part of this pledge:

  1. Prioritise education over assumptions in every interaction.

  2. Treat ownership as a long-term relationship, not a single event.

  3. Explain how systems work, not just what they do.

  4. Maintain consistency across every touchpoint.

  5. Apply racing discipline to everyday decision-making.

  6. Encourage thoughtful questions and informed curiosity.

  7. Build processes designed to last, not just move fast.

Do It Yourself: Informed Performance Toolkit

McLaren Charlotte is sharing a free toolkit for individuals who want to apply these principles on their own:

  1. Learn how the systems behind your tools or vehicles work.

  2. Read the engineering or design story, not just headlines.

  3. Ask “why” before asking “how fast.”

  4. Keep a simple learning journal.

  5. Review instructions or manuals after initial use.

  6. Follow credible technical sources.

  7. Reflect on how parts work together.

  8. Track questions you still have.

  9. Compare expectations with real-world experience.

  10. Share what you learn with others.

30-Day Progress Tracker

  • Week 1: Learn one system or concept you didn’t understand before.

  • Week 2: Ask three informed questions.

  • Week 3: Review how your expectations have changed.

  • Week 4: Write down one insight that reshaped your thinking.

Call to Action

McLaren Charlotte invites readers to take the pledge personally, apply the toolkit in their own lives, and share it with others who value thoughtful performance and long-term thinking.
