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.

Today’s Steam Cleaning Introduces Express Drying Service for Upholstery Cleaning in New York City
Today’s Steam Cleaning has added Express Drying to its couch cleaning service in New York City. The process reduces post-cleaning drying time, allowing furniture to be used the same day. The company provides steam cleaning services across all five boroughs.
New York, NY, United States, 7th Jul 2026— Today’s Steam Cleaning, a professional cleaning company serving Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island since 2015, has introduced Express Drying, a process that reduces drying time following couch cleaning services.
Humidity in New York City during the summer months slows the natural drying of upholstered fabric after steam cleaning. The same moisture that lingers in the air also contributes to conditions in which dust mites and allergens accumulate inside couches, mattresses, and rugs. Window air conditioners, open windows, and increased indoor traffic during warm months introduce additional street dust into soft surfaces. Express Drying was developed to shorten the drying period, allowing cleaned furniture to be used the same day rather than after an overnight wait.
According to the company, drying time has traditionally been the main constraint in upholstery cleaning, particularly during humid months. Express Drying was developed so that a sofa cleaned in the morning can be used again by the same evening.
The company’s couch cleaning service uses high-temperature steam to remove dirt, stains, dust, and allergens from fabric, microfiber, and leather furniture. Cleanings are performed with non-toxic products, and the company is insured. The company also noted that pricing is provided before service begins, a practice in place since it was founded.
In addition to couch cleaning, Today’s Steam Cleaning provides carpet cleaning, rug cleaning with pick-up and delivery, mattress cleaning, apartment and house cleaning, move-in and move-out cleaning, turnover cleaning for short-term rental hosts and landlords, and commercial cleaning for offices, restaurants, and commercial kitchens across New York City. The rug service collects rugs from the customer’s location, cleans them at a professional facility, and returns them upon completion. The service accommodates wool, oriental, and area rugs.
The company employs more than 120 trained cleaning professionals who arrive equipped with professional products and tools. Customers are not required to be present during the cleaning.
Appointments are available seven days a week, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Additional information is available at https://todayssteamcleaningnyc.com/ or by calling (518) 348-8887.
