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.

Patrick Marcotte Uses ASMR to Advocate for Everyday Calm
-
From his quiet studio in Montreal, Patrick Marcotte is encouraging people everywhere to reclaim stillness in a world that never stops.
Montreal, Quebec, 6th March 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Content creator Patrick Marcotte, founder of the YouTube channel Patrick’s ASMR, is using his platform to raise awareness about the growing need for calm in people’s everyday lives — especially amid rising stress and screen fatigue. Rather than offering flashy self-help routines, Patrick is championing something simpler: intentional quiet.

“People don’t need more noise,” Marcotte says. “They need space. They need room to breathe, even if it’s just for ten minutes a day.”
His channel, launched in January 2023, has quietly gained traction not through viral videos, but through trust. Viewers use his soft-spoken recordings to fall asleep, cope with anxiety, or simply reset. And now, Patrick is encouraging others to think of calm not as a treat, but as a daily tool for well-being.
The Case for Calm
According to the American Psychological Association, 75% of adults report moderate to high levels of stress, and over 40% of Gen Z adults experience anxiety on a regular basis. Quiet rituals like ASMR, meditation, and breathwork are increasingly used to reduce these levels — but many people still don’t know where to start.
“I always say, you don’t need an app, a course, or a routine,” Marcotte explains. “Just start with one moment of quiet. That’s it. That’s the first move.”
Recent studies back this up. Researchers at UCLA found that short sessions of intentional quiet, even as short as five minutes, can significantly reduce cortisol and support nervous system regulation. ASMR, in particular, has shown promise in decreasing heart rate and enhancing relaxation, especially in high-anxiety populations.
A Creator Who Keeps It Real
What makes Patrick’s approach stand out is its simplicity. He doesn’t use elaborate sets or gimmicks. His videos focus on soft sounds, ambient textures, and a steady voice. He speaks with intention. He never forces content just to stay in the algorithm.
“If I’m not feeling calm, I don’t film,” he says. “My videos have to come from the same space I’m asking viewers to be in.”
In an age of burnout and performance, that consistency — and honesty — matters.
A Call for Quiet (That Anyone Can Answer)
Marcotte’s campaign isn’t about downloads or donations. It’s a quiet advocacy movement. His ask: build your own calm space, even if it’s small. That could be:
-
Five minutes of silence before bed
-
A no-phone morning walk
-
Whispering your thoughts into a journal
-
Listening to a calming voice before sleep
“People think rest has to be earned,” Marcotte says. “But we’re human. We need it to function. Start treating calm like a necessity, not a reward.”
What You Can Do Today
To support this quiet movement and reduce everyday stress:
-
Pause once a day with no input — no music, no scrolling, just stillness.
-
Start a “one-sound” habit — listen to one calming sound (wind, water, paper turning) each night.
-
Follow creators who slow you down, not speed you up.
-
Respect your off-hours — build “do not disturb” time into your evenings.
“We can’t control how fast the world moves,” Marcotte says. “But we can create moments where we slow down, even just a little. That’s where peace starts.”
About Patrick’s ASMR
Patrick Marcotte is the creator of Patrick’s ASMR, a YouTube channel launched in January 2023 that focuses on calm, connection, and mindfulness. Based in Montreal, he produces quiet, intention-led content to help people rest, recharge, and reconnect to themselves through ASMR. His work has been praised for its simplicity, sincerity, and emotional impact. Patrick creates from a place of empathy, with a focus on helping others feel seen and supported.
