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.

Adept Photo Booths Brings 360 Photo Booth Experiences to Melbourne Events and Celebrations

Published

on

Australia, 23rd Jun 2026 – Adept Photo Booths, a well-known provider of interactive photo and video booth experiences, has announced the addition of 360 photo booth experiences to its event hire range across Melbourne. The new format captures slow-motion video from a rotating arm that moves around guests, producing shareable clips at weddings, parties, and corporate functions throughout the metropolitan area.

The 360 photo booth records video as a camera platform rotates around a person or small group standing on a raised platform. The resulting footage can be edited with effects such as slow motion, instant replays, and music before being shared digitally on-site. The format differs from traditional still-image booths by producing moving content suited to social media and digital galleries.

Demand for video-based event content has grown as guests increasingly capture and share moments through social platforms during celebrations. Adept Photo Booths has operated still-image and video booths for weddings, private celebrations, and corporate events for several years, and the 360 format extends that catalogue to include rotating video capture as an additional booking option.

Each 360 booth booking includes professional setup and pack-down, an on-site attendant, a selection of props, and access to a digital gallery after the event. Custom branding options remain available for corporate clients seeking to align booth output with company identity. Prints and digital files are provided depending on the package selected, allowing organisers to choose a format that suits the event and the venue.

“The 360 format responds to a clear shift in how guests want to capture and share events,” said Colin Richardson, General Manager of Adept Photo Booths. “Adding rotating video booths to the Melbourne range gives event organisers a way to create video content without adding complexity to the day, as setup and operation are handled by the on-site team.”

The booth is suited to indoor and covered outdoor venues with sufficient floor space for the rotating arm and a small group of guests. Adept Photo Booths coordinates placement with venues and event planners ahead of each booking to confirm available space, power access, and timing. This planning step is intended to reduce disruption on the day and to ensure the booth operates within the layout of the chosen venue.

The company services weddings, milestone birthdays, school formals, and corporate gatherings across the Melbourne region. Bookings can be tailored to event length, with packages structured around the number of hours of operation required. Digital galleries are made available after each event, giving guests and organisers a central location from which to access and download their content.

“Event formats continue to change, and the plan is to keep expanding the range as guest expectations evolve,” said Richardson. “The focus over the coming year is on broadening availability across Melbourne and refining the digital sharing process so guests receive their content quickly, both during and after each event.”

Adept Photo Booths provides photo and video booth hire for weddings, parties, and corporate events, with full-service packages that include professional setup, custom branding, props, and digital galleries. The addition of the 360 format broadens the company’s event offering for clients across Melbourne and surrounding areas, and forms part of an ongoing effort to match the range to changing event requirements.

Totalcare Dental and Dermal Focuses on Positive Dental Experiences for Children in Bondi Junction

Published

on

Australia, 23rd Jun 2026 – Totalcare Dental and Dermal, a well-known provider of dental services in Bondi Junction, has announced a renewed focus on creating positive dental experiences for children attending the practice. The initiative is designed to reduce anxiety among younger patients and to support the development of sound oral health habits from an early age.

The practice has structured its approach around making routine visits calm, familiar, and age-appropriate for children. Staff guides young patients through each appointment using clear, simple explanations, and the clinical environment has been arranged to feel welcoming. According to the practice, early and consistent exposure to a comfortable dental setting can influence how children perceive oral health care throughout their lives.

Childhood dental anxiety remains a widely recognised barrier to consistent care. Research in the field has linked negative early experiences to the avoidance of dental treatment in later years, which can contribute to preventable oral health problems. By prioritising comfort and communication during paediatric appointments, Totalcare Dental and Dermal intends to address this issue at its source.

The practice offers a broad range of services that extend beyond paediatric care, including general dentistry, orthodontics, dental implants, cosmetic treatments, and emergency care. Within this wider offering, treatment for children is handled with attention to the specific needs of younger patients, including shorter appointment structures, gentle preventive care, and guidance for parents on at-home routines.

“Many adults who avoid the dentist trace their hesitation back to an uncomfortable experience in childhood,” said Ishara Goonewardene, Owner of Totalcare Dental and Dermal. “The focus on positive experiences for children is about changing that pattern. When a young patient leaves an appointment feeling calm and informed, the foundation for lifelong oral health has already been set.”

As part of the approach, the practice has emphasized consistency of care, with families encouraged to attend regular check-ups so that children become accustomed to the setting and the staff. Preventive treatments such as fluoride application, fissure sealants, and routine cleaning form part of the paediatric service, alongside education on brushing, diet, and the factors that contribute to tooth decay in younger patients.

The practice operates from a central location in Bondi Junction, providing convenient access for families in the surrounding suburbs. Appointments are scheduled to accommodate school hours and working parents, where possible. The team works with parents to explain treatment options in plain terms so that decisions can be made with a clear understanding of the care involved.

“Over the coming period, the practice intends to continue refining the way younger patients are supported, with ongoing staff training and feedback from families informing those adjustments,” said Goonewardene. “The aim is to maintain an environment where children feel comfortable returning, and where parents have confidence in the standard of care provided.”

Totalcare Dental and Dermal operates from Bondi Junction and provides general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, orthodontics, dental implants, and emergency care, in addition to services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and sedation dentistry. The practice focuses on patient-centred care across a range of age groups, with treatment plans developed according to individual needs.

The renewed attention to children’s dental experiences reflects a broader emphasis on preventive care and accessibility within the practice. By concentrating on comfort, communication, and consistency, Totalcare Dental and Dermal seeks to support better long-term outcomes for the families it serves across the local area.

Emergency Dentist Perth Responds to Growing Demand for Urgent Dental Care

Published

on

WA 6060, Yokine, Australia, 23rd Jun 2026 – Emergency Dentist Perth, a respected provider of urgent dental care, has announced an expansion of its service capacity in response to a sustained increase in demand for same-day and after-hours dental treatment across the Perth metropolitan area. The practice, based in Yokine, reports a steady rise in patients seeking immediate attention for dental pain, trauma, and infection, prompting adjustments to its scheduling and availability.

The announcement follows a broader pattern observed across the dental sector, in which a growing number of patients require treatment outside standard appointment hours. Dental emergencies, including severe toothache, broken or dislodged teeth, and acute infections, often cannot wait for a routine booking, and many patients have historically turned to hospital emergency departments that are not equipped to provide definitive dental treatment.

Emergency Dentist Perth operates seven days a week and provides a range of urgent services, including pain relief, management of chipped and knocked-out teeth, extractions, and the treatment of dental infections. The practice structures its appointments to prioritise patients presenting with acute symptoms, allowing those in discomfort to be assessed and treated promptly rather than placed on extended waiting lists.

According to the practice, demand has been particularly notable during weekends and public holidays, periods when access to general dental services is typically limited. By maintaining consistent availability across all seven days, the clinic aims to reduce the interval between the onset of a dental problem and professional intervention. This factor can influence treatment outcomes in cases involving trauma or infection.

“Demand for urgent dental treatment has grown considerably, and many patients simply have nowhere to turn when a problem arises on a weekend or late in the evening,” said Dr Anand Ponnusamy, Principal Dentist at Emergency Dentist Perth. “The practice has responded by ensuring that someone is available to assess and treat genuine emergencies every day of the week, because delaying care can make a manageable issue considerably worse.”

The clinic, located on Flinders Street in Yokine, serves patients from across the northern suburbs and the wider Perth area. Its approach centres on rapid assessment, immediate pain management where required, and clear communication about treatment options. For conditions such as knocked-out teeth, where timing is critical, the practice guides patients before they arrive to improve the prospects of saving the affected tooth.

Alongside acute treatment, the practice records and reviews the types of emergencies it handles, using that information to anticipate periods of higher demand and to allocate staff accordingly. This operational focus is intended to maintain short waiting times even as patient numbers increase.

The expansion in capacity also reflects changes in how patients seek care. An increasing proportion of enquiries now arrive through online searches and direct telephone contact, often from individuals experiencing pain for the first time who are unfamiliar with the options available to them. The practice has adjusted its intake process to handle these enquiries efficiently and to direct patients to appropriate care.

“The intention over the coming period is to continue refining availability so that urgent cases can be seen without unnecessary delay,” said Dr Ponnusamy. “Planning will be guided by the patterns observed in patient demand, to maintain reliable access to emergency treatment throughout the year.”

Emergency Dentist Perth provides urgent dental services to patients across the Perth metropolitan region, with a focus on prompt assessment and treatment of dental emergencies. The practice operates seven days a week from its Yokine location and handles a range of conditions, from acute pain and infection through to dental trauma requiring immediate attention. Its response to rising demand forms part of an ongoing effort to provide accessible urgent care within the local community.
